As the culmination of his examples of the new attitude that is needed now that we are in Christ, the Apostle Paul proclaims that "all" and "every form" of the previous bitterness/rage/anger/malice, etc. needs to be removed and in its place must be put kindness and compassion that includes forgiving others.
A challenge? Absolutely, things will happen in life that push us toward anger and away from kindness. We need to let them go and follow the example of Jesus with kindness and compassion. Added incentive needed? God forgave you first, go and do likewise.
