Colossians 3:14

14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Ver. 14. Above all these ] "Put on love," as the upper garment, the "parti-coloured coat," whereby all God’s children are known (as Joseph, and Tamar, David’s daughter, were), the cognizance of every true Christian, John 13:35 . See Trapp on " Joh 13:35 "

The bond of perfectness ] Or the couple, the juncture, the tie, συνδεσμος . As the curtains of the tabernacle were joined by loops, so are all true Christians by love.
