Colossians 3:15-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. And let the peace of Christ lift up your hearts. For in this peace, you have been called, as one body. And be thankful.

16. Let the word of Christ live in you in abundance, with all wisdom, teaching and correcting one another, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing to God with the grace in your hearts.

17. Let everything whatsoever that you do, whether in word or in deed, be done all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

18. Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord.

19. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter toward them.

20. Children, obey your parents in all things. For this is well-pleasing to the Lord.

21. Fathers, do not provoke your children to indignation, lest they lose heart.

22. Servants, obey, in all things, your lords according to the flesh, not serving only when seen, as if to please men, but serving in simplicity of heart, fearing God.

23. Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as for the Lord, and not for men.

24. For you know that you will receive from the Lord the repayment of an inheritance. Serve Christ the Lord.

25. For whoever causes injury shall be repaid for what he has wrongfully done. And there no favoritism with God.
