12Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,ⁱ 13bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.^j 14And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.^k 15And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.^l 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.^m 17And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.ⁿ
