Colossians 3:16

Jesus
God's wordPraise and worshipFellowship and the churchGratitude

14 And over all these virtues put on love, which is the bond of perfect unity.

15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

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