Colossians 3:12-14 Part 2 of 2

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.  

Forgive as the Lord forgave you 
Ephesians 4:32  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. 

and over all these virtues put on love 
1 Corinthians 13:13  And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (See 1 Corinthians 13:1-13)

which binds them all together in perfect unity 
Romans 15:5-6  May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
1 Corinthians 1:10  I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.
2 Corinthians 13:11  Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
Ephesians 4:3  Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
