Instead, help each other and be kind to each other. Forgive one another. Remember that God has forgiven you because of what Christ has done.

Do not think that you are better than other people. Always be kind and patient with each other. Love one another, so that you do not quickly become angry with each other.

Do not say bad things that hurt or insult people. Instead, say only good things that will help people. Your words should help people to become strong when they hear them.

Do not be jealous of other people. Do not become angry or shout at them. Do not quarrel with other people or insult them. Do not do anything or say anything that will hurt other people.

When you are angry, do not do anything bad as a result. Once the day comes to an end, do not continue to be angry. Do not give the devil a chance to hurt you like that.

They taught you to change the way that you live. You must remove the nature that you had before. That old nature deceived you. As a result, you wanted to do things that would destroy you. Instead, let God's Spirit make you think in a new way. Take up the new nature that God has prepared for you. That nature is like God's own nature. Then you will live in a truly good way that pleases God.

Do your best to let God's Spirit keep you united. You belong together so live in peace with each other.

It was Christ who chose to give different gifts to his people. He chose some to be apostles. He chose some to speak messages from God. He chose some to tell God's good news to many people. He chose some to take care of his people, and to teach them. He gave all these gifts to help God's people to serve him in different ways. As a result, the church, which is like Christ's body, would become strong. In that way, all of us will become united, like one person. We will all believe in Jesus as the Son of God. We will all know him. We will become like a man who has grown up well. We will be completely as God wants us to be, just like Christ himself.

So then we will not be like children any more. Our minds will not become confused by strange ideas. We will not change what we believe, from one thing to another. Some people teach things that are not true. They do clever things to deceive people. But we will not agree with their false message. Instead, we will love each other and we will speak God's true message. As a result, we will become more and more like Christ in every way. He is the head of his body, which is the church.
