There is no longer any distinction between Gentiles and Jews, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarians, slaves and free, but Christ is all and He is in all. You are the people of God; He loved you and chose you for His own. So then, now that you have this new life, you must clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever you have a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you. And to all these qualities add love which binds the whole whole thing together in perfect unity. Then peace that Christ gives you in the decisions you make, for it is the peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful!. Christ's message in all its' richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs, sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts. Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus as you give thanks through Him to God the Father. scrip.ref. Colossians 3:11-17 In the final analysis, when it comes to the body of Christ, no race, no nationality, or class is better than another. Through the cross, Christ has made us one, and we are to treat each other with honesty, dignity, and love.
