Study Note
The triad 'kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another' is grounded in Christological imitation — 'even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you' — rather than in mere humanitarian sentiment, giving Christian social ethics a specifically theological foundation. The word 'tenderhearted' (eusplanchnos, literally 'good-boweled') employs the visceral 'splanchna' (innards) imagery for deep compassion found also in Colossians 3:12 ('bowels of mercies') and Luke 15's father who had compassion (esplanchnisthē) on the returning prodigal. The parallel in Colossians 3:13 identifies this forgiveness as the 'bond of perfectness' in community, making interpersonal forgiveness structurally necessary to the church's unity. Theologically, the verse forges the link between received grace and social grace: the measure of forgiveness received determines the measure of forgiveness extended (Matthew 18:33).
