Legacy Standard Bible
12 So, as the (A)elect of God, holy and beloved, (B)put on a (C)heart of compassion, kindness, (D)humility, gentleness, and [a](E)patience; 13 (F)bearing with one another, and (G)graciously forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone, (H)just as the Lord graciously forgave you, so also should you. 14 Above all these things put on love, which is [b](I)the perfect bond of (J)unity. 15 And let (K)the peace of Christ [c]rule in your hearts, to which [d]indeed you were called in (L)one body, and [e]be thankful. 16 Let (M)the word of [f]Christ dwell in you richly, [g]with all wisdom (N)teaching and admonishing [h]one another (O)with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, (P)singing [i]with gratefulness in your hearts to God. 17 (Q)And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, (R)giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

New King James Version
Character of the New Man
12 Therefore, (A)as the elect of God, holy and beloved, (B)put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 (C)bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 (D)But above all these things (E)put on love, which is the (F)bond of perfection. 15 And let (G)the peace of God rule in your hearts, (H)to which also you were called (I)in one body; and (J)be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another (K)in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And (L)whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
