13 Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you⁺ may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord {Kyrios} forgave you⁺. 14 And over all these virtues put on love {agapēn}, which is the bond of perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ (the Anointed One) rule in your⁺ hearts, for to this you⁺ were called as members of one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ (the Anointed One) richly dwell within you⁺ as you teach {didaskontes} and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your⁺ hearts to God {Theō}. 17 And whatever you⁺ do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord {Kyriou} Jesus (YHWH saves), giving thanks to God {Theō} the Father through Him. 18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord {Kyriō}. 19 Husbands, love {agapate} your wives and do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord {Kyriō}. 21 Fathers {pateres}, do not provoke your⁺ children, so they will not become discouraged. 22 Slaves {douloi}, obey your earthly masters {kyriois} in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord {Kyrion}. 23 Whatever you⁺ do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord {Kyriō} and not for men, 24 because you know that you⁺ will receive an inheritance from the Lord {Kyriou} as your reward. It is the Lord {Kyriō} Christ (the Anointed One) you⁺ are serving. 25 Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism. Colossians 3:13-25, Berean Annotated Bible.
