歌罗西书3:12-17
12所以你们既是神的选民,圣洁蒙爱的人,就要存(原文作穿下同)怜悯,恩慈,谦虚,温柔,忍耐的心。13倘若这人与那人有嫌隙,总要彼此包容,彼此饶恕。主怎样饶恕了你们,你们也要怎样饶恕人。14在这一切之外,要存着爱心。爱心就是联络全德的。15又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主。你们也为此蒙召,归为一体。且要存感谢的心。16当用各样的智慧,把基督的道理,丰丰富富的存在心里,(或作当把基督的道理丰丰富富的存在心里以各样的智慧)用诗章,颂词,灵歌,彼此教导,互相劝戒,心被恩感歌颂神。17无论作什么,或说话,或行事,都要奉主耶稣的名,藉着他感谢父神。
12Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. 16Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. 17And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
