Colossians 3:12-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
12
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness,
and
patience;
13
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so
must
you
do
also.
14
In addition to all these things
put on
love, which is the perfect bond of unity.
15
Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful.
16
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns,
and
spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17
Whatever you do in word or deed,
do
everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.
18
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19
Husbands, love your wives and do not become bitter against them.
20
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
King James Version
Chapter 3
12
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
