Thanksgiving Bible Reading for Ministers, Colossians Chapter 3, English and Japanese

3:12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,

3:13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance
against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.

3:14 And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.

3:15 And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you
were also called in one body. And be thankful.

3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and
admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with
gratitude in your hearts to God.

3:17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
