"Therefore, As God's Chosen People, Holy and Dearly Loved, Clothe Yourselves with Compassion, Kindness, Humility, Gentleness, and Patience. Bear with Each Other and Forgive One Another If Any of You Has a Grievance Against Someone. Forgive As The Lord Forgave You. And Over All These Virtues Put On Love, Which Binds Them All Together In Perfect Unity."
Colossians 3:12-14
