Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering
"Christ is all" is the verse that comes before this one. It's actually very important or else you won't be able to understand the rest. The adjectives (I'm assuming) are talking about God. Elect means chosen for something. The verse describes God. One word that would relate to my life would be "long suffering." Now, again, I'm not sure if this verse is talking about God himself but if it does, the long suffering would be his decent unto earth to be killed. His life here on earth was rather long (for us). He died when he was in his 30's and I'm not even in my thirties! All through his years, he must of had a lot of people persecute him which lead to his death. This is the true meaning of long suffering.
