Colossians 3:12–4:6

12 yPut on therefore, as lthe elect of God, holy and mbeloved, n obowels of mercies, okindness, phumbleness of mind, pmeekness, plongsuffering; 13 pForbearing one another, and oforgiving one another, if any man have a ||quarrel against any: oeven as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 qAnd above all these things rput on scharity, which is the tbond of uperfectness. 15 And let wthe peace of God rule in your hearts, xto the which also ye are called yin one body; zand be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly a bin all wisdom; bteaching and badmonishing one another cin psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing dwith grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And ewhatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, fgiving thanks to God and the Father by him.

18 gWives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, has it is fit in the Lord. 19 iHusbands, love your wives, and kbe not bitter against them. 20 lChildren, obey your parents min all things: for this is nwell pleasing unto the Lord. 21 oFathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be pdiscouraged. 22 qServants, obey min all things your masters according to the flesh; qnot with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but qin singleness of heart, fearing God: 23 And ewhatsoever ye do, do it rheartily, as sto the Lord, and not unto men; 24 tKnowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of uthe inheritance: for q sye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong wshall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and xthere is no respect of persons.

4 aMasters, give unto your servants that which is just and bequal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

2 c dContinue ein prayer, and fwatch in the same gwith thanksgiving; 3 Withal hpraying also for us, that God would iopen unto us a door of utterance, to speak kthe mystery of Christ, lfor which I am also in bonds: 4 That mI may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 5 nWalk oin wisdom toward pthem that are without, qredeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be alway rwith grace, sseasoned with salt, that ye may know thow ye ought to answer every man.
