3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with a heart of mercy,1 kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
[3:12]1tn If the genitive construct σπλάγχνα οἰκτιρμοῦ (splancna oiktirmou) is a hendiadys then it would be “compassion” or “tenderheartedness.” See M. J. Harris, Colossians and Philemon (EGGNT), 161.
