Colossians 3:12

[A Christian needs to clothe himself in the new man, see verse 10. The keys to good relationships and unity in the church begin with deep personal compassion.]
Therefore, clothe yourselves as God's chosen ones, holy (set apart) and [highly] beloved in:
heartfelt compassion (heartfelt mercy; literally: the inner organs of compassion) [inner sympathies],
kindness (goodness) [which gently and willingly meets real needs],
humility (modesty, moderation, smallness) [which has a sober perspective on its own insignificance],
gentleness (meekness) [which is a balanced and controlled strength, free from vindictiveness and bitterness],
[and] patience (long-suffering endurance),
