Colossians
3: |
12-21
[or short version: 12-17] |
| 12 |
Put
on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness,
lowliness, meekness, and patience, |
| 13 |
forbearing one another
and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the
Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. |
| 14 |
And above all these
put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. |
| 15 |
And let the peace
of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one
body. And be thankful. |
| 16 |
Let the word of
Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom,
and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your
hearts to God. |
| 17 |
And whatever you
do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through him. |
| 18 |
Wives, be subject
to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. |
| 19 |
Husbands, love your
wives, and do not be harsh with them. |
| 20 |
Children, obey your
parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. |
| 21 |
Fathers, do not
provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. |
