Colossians 3:14

Appeal For New Behavior

¹³ (bearing with one another, and freely forgiving one another, if any one have a complaint against any; even as the Lord freely forgave you, so also do ye): ¹⁴ and over all these put on love, which is the uniting-bond of perfectness. ¹⁵ And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, unto which also ye were called in one body; and become thankful.
