12 Clothed, therefore, (as the elect of God, holy and beloved) with bowels of mercies, with kindness, with humility, with meekness, with tolerance,13 forbearing one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a quarrel against another: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye.14 And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfection.15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, into which likewise ye are called into one body, and be ye thankful.
