9. Do not lie to one another. After all, you have taken off the old self with its practices
10. and have put on the new self that is being renewed in knowledge, according to the image of the One who created him.
11. Here there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, savage, slave and free; but Messiah is all, and in all.
12. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves in tender compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience—
13. bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord pardoned you, so also you must pardon others.
14. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfect harmony.
15. Let the shalom of Messiah rule in your hearts—to this shalom you were surely called in one body. Also be thankful.
16. Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to God.
