Colossians 3:15-21 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

15. The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful.

16. Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct each other with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.

17. Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father.

18. Wives, submit to your husbands, for that is what you should do as Christians.

19. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

20. Children, it is your Christian duty to obey your parents always, for that is what pleases God.

21. Parents, do not irritate your children, or they will become discouraged.
