Colossians 3:12–21

¹²Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering, ¹³forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you—so also ye; ¹⁴and above all these things, have love, which is a bond of the perfection, ¹⁵and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful. ¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord; ¹⁷and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

¹⁸The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord; ¹⁹the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them; ²⁰the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord; ²¹the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.
