Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.

Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.”

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
