13 abearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  
14 aBut above all these things bput on love, which is the cbond of perfection.  
15 And let athe peace of God rule in your hearts, bto which also you were called cin one body; and dbe thankful.  
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another ain psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  
17 And awhatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
