Colossians 3:14-17

14Beyond all these things put on love, which is 1 2the perfect bond of 3unity. 15Let 4the peace of Christ 5rule in your hearts, to which 6indeed you were called in 7one body; and 8be thankful. 16Let 9the word of 10Christ richly dwell within you, 11with all wisdom 12teaching and admonishing 13one another 14with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 15singing 16with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 17Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 18giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
