Colossians 3:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹It doesn't matter if you are a Greek or a Jew, or if you are circumcised or not. You may even be a barbarian or a Scythian,^[a] and you may be a slave or a free person. Yet Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.

¹²^(A) God loves you and has chosen you as his own special people. So be gentle, kind, humble, meek, and patient. ¹³^(B) Put up with each other, and forgive anyone who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you.
