Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Therefore, Clothe Yourself In Love, Christ’s Peace, God’s Word, And Thankfulness
12 Therefore, as chosen[a] ones of God, holy and having been loved, put-on[b] deep-feelings[c] of compassion, kindness, humblemindedness, gentleness, patience, 13 bearing-with one another, and forgiving each other— if anyone has a complaint against anyone. Just as indeed the Lord forgave you, so also you forgive. 14 And over[d] all these things put on love, which is the bond[e] of [f] perfection. 15 And let the peace of [g] Christ be arbitrating[h] in your hearts— into which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ be dwelling in[i] you richly, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing each other with psalms[j], hymns, spiritual songs; with gratitude[k] singing with[l] your hearts to God. 17 And everything, whatever thing you may do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving-thanks to God the Father through Him.
