Colossians 3:9-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices,

¹⁰ And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect ^[a]knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it.^(A)

¹¹ [In this new creation all distinctions vanish.] There ^[b]is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, [nor difference between nations whether alien] barbarians or Scythians [^[c]who are the most savage of all], nor slave or free man; but Christ is all and in all [^[d]everything and everywhere, to all men, without distinction of person].

¹² Clothe yourselves therefore, as God’s own chosen ones (His own picked representatives), [who are] purified and holy and well-beloved [by God Himself, by putting on behavior marked by] tenderhearted pity and mercy, kind feeling, a lowly opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, [and] patience [which is tireless and long-suffering, and has the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper].
