9Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the old man with his deedes: 10And haue put on the new man, which is renued in knowledge, after the image of him that created him, 11Where there is neither Greeke, nor Iew, circumcision, nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12Put on therefore (as the elect of God, holy and beloued) bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering, 13Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarrell against any: euen as Christ forgaue you, so also doe yee.

People's Bible Notes for Colossians 3:11
Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew. "Where there cannot be Greek and Jew" (Revised Version). In Christ there can be no distinction of race, or of caste. The Greek, when he is converted, becomes a new being; not a Greek, but a Christian. So of Jew, Roman, Scythian. They are all naturalized into a new kingdom, that of Christ, and belong to a new holy nation (1Pe 2:9). All the old barriers to fraternity are removed. Barbarian. The Greeks long called all who were not Greeks barbarians, but in the apostolic age applied it more particularly to those who had not accepted the Greek civilization. Bond [nor] free. The master and the slave were on a level in the church. Max Muller says, ``"Humanity" is a word which you look for in vain in Plato and Aristotle; the idea of mankind as one family, as the children of one God, is an idea of Christian growth.'' But Christ [is] all, and in all. He is the life of all the new creation, and in all.
