Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ.

Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another.

Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.

Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort.

If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day. Don't give the Devil a chance.

So get rid of your old self, which made you live as you used to—the old self that was being destroyed by its deceitful desires. Your hearts and minds must be made completely new, and you must put on the new self, which is created in God's likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy.

Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together.

It was he who “gave gifts to people”; he appointed some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors and teachers. He did this to prepare all God's people for the work of Christian service, in order to build up the body of Christ. And so we shall all come together to that oneness in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God; we shall become mature people, reaching to the very height of Christ's full stature.

Then we shall no longer be children, carried by the waves and blown about by every shifting wind of the teaching of deceitful people, who lead others into error by the tricks they invent. Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head.
