^(F1)(C1)Do not lie to one another, since you ^(C2)stripped off the old ^(F2)self with its evil practices,

and have ^(C1)put on the new self, which is being ^(F1)(C2)renewed to a true knowledge ^(C3)according to the image of the One who ^(C4)created it—

a renewal in which ^(C1)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^(C2)circumcised and uncircumcised, ^(F1)(C3)barbarian, ^(F2)Scythian, ^(C4)slave, and free, but ^(C5)Christ is all, and in all.

So, as those who have been ^(C1)chosen of God, holy and beloved, ^(C2)put on a ^(C3)heart of compassion, kindness, ^(C4)humility, gentleness, and ^(F1)(C5)patience;

^(C1)bearing with one another, and ^(C2)forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; ^(C2)just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also.

In addition to all these things put on love, which is ^(F1)(C1)the perfect bond of ^(C2)unity.

Let ^(C1)the peace of Christ, to which you were ^(F1)indeed called in ^(C2)one body, ^(F2)rule in your hearts; and ^(F3)be thankful.

Let ^(C1)the word of ^(F1)Christ richly dwell within you, ^(F2)with all wisdom ^(C2)teaching and admonishing ^(F3)one another ^(C3)with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, ^(C4)singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
