Colossians 3:11

11 a renewal in which 1there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, 2circumcised and uncircumcised, 3barbarian, Scythian, 4slave and freeman, but 5Christ is all, and in all.

Colossians 3:11 In-Context

9 Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices,
10 and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him-
11 a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.
12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.
