Colossians 3:17-24

Moffatt(i) 17 Indeed, whatever you say or do, let everything be done in dependence on the Lord Jesus, giving thanks in his name to God the Father. 18 Wives, be subject to your husbands; that is your proper duty in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, do not be harsh to them. 20 Children, obey your parents at every point, for this pleases the Lord right well. 21 Fathers, avoid irritating your children, in case they get dispirited. 22 Servants, obey your masters here below at every point; do not work simply when their eye is on you, like those who court human favour, but serve them with a single heart out of reverence for your Lord and Master. 23 Whatever be your task, work at it heartily, as servants of the Lord and not of men; 24 remember, you will receive from the Lord the inheritance which is your due; serve Christ your Lord and Master,
