Kehilah In Colossae 3:14-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. And to all these things add ahavah, which is the agudah of tamimim.

15. And let the shalom of Moshiach arbitrate in your levavot. You were called to this shalom in one NEVELAH [DEVARIM 21:23; cf geviyah, BERESHIS 47:18; cf basar, TEHILLIM 16:9-10; IYOV 19:25-27; YESHAYAH 53:11, guf (body)]. Let there be todah in your levavot.

16. Let the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach make its mishkan in you richly, in all chochmah and in all Moshiach's pnimiyus haTorah (innermost Torah teaching) and words of chizzuk, ministering to one another with Tehillim, shirim, and neshamah niggunim miRuach Hakodesh (soul melodies from the Ruach Hakodesh) with gratitude, singing in your levavot to Hashem. [TEHILLIM 47:7]

17. And whatever thing you do, whether in dvar or in ma'aseh, do all things b'Shem Adoneinu Yehoshua, giving todot to Elohim HaAv through him [Moshiach].

18. Nashim (wives), make yourselves accountable to your ba'alim (husbands), as is proper in Adoneinu.

19. Ba'alim, have ahavah for your nashim and do not be bitter against them.

20. Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in all things, for this is well pleasing in Adoneinu.

21. Avot, do not provoke your yeladim, lest they be disheartened.

22. Avadim (servants), each of you obey in all things your adon according to the basar, not with eye service as pleasers of Bnei Adam, but with tom lev, with yirat Shomayim.
