Colossians 3:14-25

14In addition to all these things put on love, which is 12the perfect bond of 3unity. 15Let 4the peace of Christ, to which you were 5indeed called in 6one body, 7rule in your hearts; and 8be thankful. 16Let 9the word of 10Christ richly dwell within you, 11with all wisdom 12teaching and admonishing 13one another 14with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, 15singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 1716Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, 17giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

1818Wives, 19be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 1920Husbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them. 2021Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing 22to the Lord. 2123Fathers, do not 24antagonize your children, so that they will not become discouraged.

222526Slaves, obey those who are your 27human masters in everything, 28not with 29eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23Whatever you do, do your work 30heartily, 31as for the Lord and not for people, 2432knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward 33of 34the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you 35serve. 25For 36the one who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and 3738that without partiality.
