12. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves in tender compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience—
13. bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord pardoned you, so also you must pardon others.
14. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfect harmony.
15. Let the shalom of Messiah rule in your hearts—to this shalom you were surely called in one body. Also be thankful.
16. Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to God.
17. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
18. Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19. Husbands, love your wives and do not become harsh toward them.
20. Children, obey your parents in every respect, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
21. Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.
22. Slaves, obey your human masters in every respect—not just within your master’s sight as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
23. Whatever you do, work at it from the soul, as for the Lord and not for people.
24. For you know that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is to the Lord Messiah you are giving service.
