Col 3:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13 : Paul adds, Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any (Colossians 3:13 ). Christians must be patient with each other’s weaknesses and quick to forgive. Quarrels and disagreements will happen, but believers are called to let go of grudges. Paul reminds them to forgive others just as Christ has forgiven them. This reflects Jesus’ teaching: Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us (Matthew 6:12 ).
