Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12

As God’s chosen people, Scripture reminds us to “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And above all these, put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony; and let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.  Colossian 3:13-15
