Colossians 3:14-25

14Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

15And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful.

16Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

17And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

18Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

19Husbands, love your wives and don’t be bitter toward them.

20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

21Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they won’t become discouraged.

22Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, as people-pleasers, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.

23Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people,

24knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.

25For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.
