Colossians 3:9-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices(A) 10 [a]and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator.(B) 11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian,[b] slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.(C)
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,(D) 13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.(E) 14 And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.(F)
