Colossians 3:14-25 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

14. And to all these add love, which is the bond of perfectness.

15. And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.

16. Let the word of the Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.

17. And everything, whatever ye may do in word or in deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father by him.

18. Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

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

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

21. Fathers, do not vex your children, to the end that they be not disheartened.

22. Bondmen, obey in all things your masters according to flesh; not with eye-services, as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.

23. Whatsoever ye do, labour at it heartily, as doing it to the Lord, and not to men;

24. knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ.

25. For he that does a wrong shall receive the wrong he has done, and there is no respect of persons.
