Colossians 3:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰^(A) Each of you is now a new person. You are becoming more and more like your Creator, and you will understand him better. ¹¹It doesn't matter if you are a Greek or a Jew, or if you are circumcised or not. You may even be a barbarian or a Scythian,^[a] and you may be a slave or a free person. Yet Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.

¹²^(B) God loves you and has chosen you as his own special people. So be gentle, kind, humble, meek, and patient.
