Wisdom From The Book Of Colossians


So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, 
  continue to live in Him, rooted 
        and built up in Him,
    strengthened in the faith as you were taught, 
      and overflowing with thankfulness.
                                                                 - Colossians 2:6-7

As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, 
  clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, 
    humility, gentleness, and patience. 
Bear with each other and forgive 
        whatever grievances
  you may have against one another.
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

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, 
  do it all in the name of the Lord, 
    giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
                                                                 - Colossians 3:17
