Appeal For New Behavior

¹³ bearing with each other, and forgiving each other, if any one have a complaint against another; even as Christ freely forgave you, do ye also freely forgive; ¹⁴ and over all these things put on the robe of love, which is the bond of perfectness; ¹⁵ and let the peace of Christ, to which ye were called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be ye thankful.
