11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew,(A) circumcised or uncircumcised,(B) barbarian, Scythian, slave or free,(C) but Christ is all,(D) and is in all.

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves(E) with compassion, kindness, humility,(F) gentleness and patience.(G) 13 Bear with each other(H) and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.(I) 14 And over all these virtues put on love,(J) which binds them all together in perfect unity.(K)

15 Let the peace of Christ(L) rule in your hearts, since as members of one body(M) you were called to peace.(N) And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ(O) dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom(P) through psalms,(Q) hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.(R)

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
