Today’s NT Greek Reading

January 4, 2008

Today’s reading is from Colossians 2:12-14:

Ἐνδύσασθε οὖν ὡς ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, ἅγιοι καὶ ἠγαπημένοι, σπλάγχνα οἰκτιρμοῦ, χρηστότητα, ταπεινοφροσύνην, πραΰτητα, μακροθυμίαν, ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων καὶ χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς ἐάν τις πρός τινα ἔχῃ μομφήν: καθὼς καὶ ὁ κύριος ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς: ἐπὶ πᾶσιν δὲ τούτοις τὴν ἀγάπην, ὅ ἐστιν σύνδεσμος τῆς τελειότητος.

Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, put on compassionate hearts, integrity, humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, whoever has a complaint against anyone. Just as the Lord forgave you, so should you do also. But above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of unity.
