Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
12 You are chosen by God. He loves you and has made you holy. So then, care for one another. Be kind. Do not be proud. Be humble. Be patient.
13 Be patient with one another. If any one has a complaint against another, forgive that one. Christ forgave you. So you should forgive each other.
14 Beside all these, you must have love. This joins everything together as it should be.
15 Hold on to the peace of God which is in your hearts. You were called to have peace because you are all like one body. Be thankful.
16 Let your hearts be filled with the word of Christ. Be very wise when you teach people and help them to understand what is right and wrong. Sing with music. Sing praises and Christian songs. Sing to the Lord with praise in your hearts.
17 Whatever you say, or whatever you do, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through Jesus.
