“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you — the virtue replaces vice: chrestos ('kind,' useful, fitting), eusplaghnos ('compassionate,' tender-hearted), charizomai ('forgive') allelon ('one another'), grounded in the cosmic paradigm: kathos kai theou en Christō echaristate hymin ('just as God in Christ forgave you'), the cross as the measure of community forgiveness.
