12 所以，你們既是神的選民、聖潔蒙愛的人，就要存憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔、忍耐的心。 13 倘若這人與那人有嫌隙，總要彼此包容，彼此饒恕；主怎樣饒恕了你們，你們也要怎樣饒恕人。 14 在這一切之外，要存著愛心，愛心就是聯絡全德的。 15 又要叫基督的平安在你們心裡做主，你們也為此蒙召，歸為一體；且要存感謝的心。 16 當用各樣的智慧，把基督的道理豐豐富富地存在心裡，用詩章、頌詞、靈歌彼此教導，互相勸誡，心被恩感歌頌神。 17 無論做什麼，或說話或行事，都要奉主耶穌的名，藉著他感謝父神。
Colossians 3:12-17
12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Thanks to God who sets us apart from the world to become His own beloved children. May we share the same mindset as Christ Jesus so that our lives can carry out His own character -- His compassion, His kindness, His humility, His gentleness and His patience. May Jesus shine through us in our everyday life.
Thanks also to our God that we can be members of His body, the church. As He Himself is the head of the church, He binds us together with His love and virtue, so that we may live out our testimonies in perfect unity. Let us worship Him evermore with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Nevertheless, in whatever we do, we do it for Jesus with a thankful heart.
感謝 神，從世界中分別我們出來，成為蒙祂所愛的兒女。盼望我們能以基督耶穌的心為心 ，在生活中，流露出 神的性情 ─ 「憐憫、恩慈、謙虛、溫柔、忍耐」，進而彰顯基督的榮美。
感謝 神，召我們進入基督身體裡，基督作教會全體的主，祂用自己的愛和美德，將聖徒聯絡在一起，使我們可以活出合一的見證。但願我們不僅常常用 「詩章、頌詞、靈歌」歌頌 神，而且無論作甚麼事，都能存感恩的心，為主作、為主活。
