Colossians 3:14-25
14And to all these virtues add love, which is the perfect bond.
15Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart (for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful.
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and exhorting one another with all wisdom, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, all with grace in your hearts to God.
17And whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord.
21Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become disheartened.
22Slaves, obey your earthly masters in every respect, not only when they are watching – like those who are strictly people-pleasers – but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.
23Whatever you are doing, work at it with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not for people,
24because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as the reward. Serve the Lord Christ.
25For the one who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there are no exceptions.
