Colossians 3:18-25

Lexham English Bible LEB

18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

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

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

22 Slaves, obey your {human} masters in everything, not {while being watched}, as people pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

23 Whatever you do, accomplish [it] from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to people,

24 [because you] know that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. Serve the Lord Christ.

25 For the one who does wrong will receive back whatever wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.
