Colossians 3:9-11
9
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

66. 2. If I have all things (which are enumerated), and have not charity, I am nothing (1 Corinthians 13:1-3).

Of love through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 3:18; 5:2).
Whatsoever things are true, weighty, just, lovely, of good report, virtue, think these things (Philippians 4:8).
