9. Don’t lie to each other. You’ve gotten rid of the person you used to be and the life you used to live,
10. and you’ve become a new person. This new person is continually renewed in knowledge to be like its Creator.
11. Where this happens, there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, uncivilized person, slave, or free person. Instead, Christ is everything and in everything.
12. As holy people whom God has chosen and loved, be sympathetic, kind, humble, gentle, and patient.
13. Put up with each other, and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14. Above all, be loving. This ties everything together perfectly.
