Colossians 3:14-25

14Beyond all these things put on love, which is 12the 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. 1717Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 18giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

1819Wives, 20be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 1921Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. 2022Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing 23to the Lord. 2124Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

2225Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters 26on earth, 27not with 28external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23Whatever you do, do your work 29heartily, 30as for the Lord 31rather than for men, 2432knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward 33of 34the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you 35serve. 25For 36he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and 3738that without partiality.
