SCRIPTURE READING

Colossians 3:18-4:6 (Common English Bible)

¹⁸ Wives, submit to your husbands in a way that is appropriate in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives and don’t be harsh with them. ²⁰ Children, obey your parents in everything, because this pleases the Lord. ²¹ Parents, don’t provoke your children in a way that ends up discouraging them.

²² Slaves, obey your masters on earth in everything. Don’t just obey like people pleasers when they are watching. Instead, obey with the single motivation of fearing the Lord. ²³ Whatever you do, do it from the heart for the Lord and not for people. ²⁴ You know that you will receive an inheritance as a reward. You serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵ But evildoers will receive their reward for their evil actions. There is no discrimination.

¹ Masters, be just and fair to your slaves, knowing that you yourselves have a master in heaven.

² Keep on praying and guard your prayers with thanksgiving. ³ At the same time, pray for us also. Pray that God would open a door for the word so we can preach the secret plan of Christ—which is why I’m in chains. ⁴ Pray that I might be able to make it as clear as I ought to when I preach. ⁵ Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. ⁶ Your speech should always be gracious and sprinkled with insight so that you may know how to respond to every person.

Leader: The Word of God for the World.

All: Thanks be to God.
