12 Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved,  * put on compassion, kindness,  * humility,  * gentleness,  * and patience,  *13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.  *14 Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called  * in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful.
