Peace is theRoad

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised,

barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,

clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a

grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

And over all these virtues put on love,

which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members

of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you

teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms,

hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude

in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed,

do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:11-17 (NIV)
