In Perfect Harmony

One who has risen with Christ is to evidence that truth by his life in the world. His new is to be seen, thus it is his apparel to be put on. First, in verse 12, Paul identifies the new man. He is one of God's elect whom God has taken for Himself (holy) and on whom He has set His love (beloved). This man is to, then, wear compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering.
