12 Put on, therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, yearnings of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering, 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if anyone may have a quarrel with anyone, as the Christ also forgave you—so also you; 14 and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of the perfection, 15 and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you were also called in one body, and become thankful.
