Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Colossians 3:12, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Paul has just told the Colossian believers to put off the old self and put on the new, and here he turns that image into a command. Because God has chosen them, set them apart and loved them, they are to "clothe themselves," the Greek verb endysasthe, meaning to put on like a garment, with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
