Colossians 3:12-21 or 3:12-17
Chapter 3
to bear with one another and forgive whenever there is an opportunity. As the Lord has forgiven you, forgive one another.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
May the peace of Christ overflow in your hearts; for this purpose, you were called to be one body. And be thankful.
Let the word of God dwell in you richly. Teach and admonish one another with wisdom. With thankful hearts, sing psalms, hymns, and spontaneous praise to God
And whatever you do or say, do it in the Name of Jesus the Lord, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Family and social responsibilities
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not become angry with them.
Children, obey your parents in everything, because that pleases the Lord.
Parents, do not be too harsh on your children, or they may become discouraged.
Servants, obey your masters in everything—not only when they are watching to please them, but sincerely, out of respect for the Lord.
Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly, as if working for the Lord rather than for people
Remember that the Lord will reward you with the inheritance. You are servants, but your true Master is Christ.
Anyone who does wrong will be paid back for their actions, because God shows no favoritism.
