Colossians 3:13-21 English Revised Version (ERV)

13. forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:

14. and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.

15. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.

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

17. And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

18. Wives, be in subjection 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, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.
