^[g](o)Do not lie to one another, since you ^(p)laid aside the old ^[h]self with its evil practices,

and have ^(q)put on the new self who is being ^[i](r)renewed to a true knowledge ^(s)according to the image of the One who ^(t)created him—

a renewal in which ^(u)there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, ^(v)circumcised and uncircumcised, ^[j](w)barbarian, Scythian, ^(x)slave and freeman, but ^(y)Christ is all, and in all.

So, as those who have been ^(z)chosen of God, holy and beloved, ^(aa)put on a ^(ab)heart of compassion, kindness, ^(ac)humility, gentleness and ^[k](ad)patience;

^(ae)bearing with one another, and ^(af)forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; ^(ag)just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

Beyond all these things put on love, which is ^[l](ah)the perfect bond of ^(ai)unity.

Let ^(aj)the peace of Christ ^[m]rule in your hearts, to which ^[n]indeed you were called in ^(ak)one body; and ^[o]be thankful.

Let ^(al)the word of ^[p]Christ richly dwell within you, ^[q]with all wisdom ^(am)teaching and admonishing ^[r]one another ^(an)with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ^(ao)singing ^[s]with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
