       Verse 12: “Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience” (ESV). Within the diversity of believers within in the church, Paul then tells them how they need to act toward one another. It’s a very fitting moment, a fitting time for this statement to be put forth. Paul had just demonstrated how all are included, and therefore, how each should relate to the other (and this despite any prevailing societal prejudices) is laid out. Each of these groups is chosen of God, as all who believe are then chosen of God. That’s important because it shows that no one is included as a second class citizen, but all are noted as “chosen” on an equal plane. And those whom are chosen, are said to be “holy and beloved.” Everyone who believes is made holy in God’s sight, whether they are acting holy in this life or not. That born-again spirit makes them holy, and one day their flesh will become holy.
