Colossians 3:12-25
-
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
-
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
-
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
-
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
-
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
-
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
-
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
-
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
-
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
-
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
-
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
-
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
-
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
-
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
