Colossians 3:11

Read in context

Colossians 3:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,

10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.

12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

13 Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
