2. Now that you have welcomed the Anointed One, Jesus the Lord,
into your lives, continue to journey with Him and allow Him to
shape your lives. Let your roots grow down deeply in Him, and let
Him build you up on a firm foundation. Be strong in the faith, just
as you were taught, and always spill over with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7
3. Surely, no matter what you are doing (speaking,
writing, or working), do it all in the name of Jesus
our Master, sending thanks through Him to God our
Father.
Colossians 3:17
5. Colossians 3:18-21
Wives: be submitted to your husbands as is
appropriate in the Lord. Husbands: love your wives
and don’t treat them harshly or respond with
bitterness toward them. Children: obey your
parents in every way. The Lord is well pleased by it.
Fathers: don’t infuriate your children, so their
hearts won’t harbor resentment and become
discouraged.
6. Colossians 3:22-24
Slaves: obey your earthly masters in all things.
Don’t just act earnest in your service only when
they are watching. Serve with a sincere heart (even
when others aren’t watching), fearing the Lord who
is always watching! So no matter what your task is
work hard. Always do your best as the Lord’s
servant, not as man’s, because you know your reward
is the Lord’s inheritance.
7. Colossians 3:24-4:1
You serve the Lord, the Anointed One, and anyone
who does wrong will be paid his due because God
doesn’t play favorites. And to you masters: treat
your slaves fairly and do what is right knowing that
you, too, have a Master in heaven.
