Colossians 3:16-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

17. And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

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

19. Husbands, love your wives, and avoid any bitterness toward them.

20. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

21. Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they may not become discouraged.

22. Slaves, obey your human masters in everything, not only when being watched, as currying favor, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord.

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

24. knowing that you will receive from the Lord the due payment of the inheritance; be slaves of the Lord Christ.

25. For the wrongdoer will receive recompense for the wrong he committed, and there is no partiality.
