Colossians 3:17-4:1
Wycliffe Bible
17 All thing, whatever thing ye do, in word or in deed, all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, doing thankings to God and to the Father by him. [All thing, whatever ye do, in word or deed, all things in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, doing thankings to God the Father by him.]
18 Women, be ye subject to your husbands, as it behooveth in the Lord.
19 Men, love ye your wives, and do not ye be bitter to them.
20 Sons, obey ye to your father and mother by all things; for this is well pleasing in the Lord.[a]
21 Fathers, do not ye provoke your sons to indignation, that they be not made feeble-hearted.
22 Servants, obey ye by all things to fleshly lords, not serving at the eye [not serving at eye], as pleasing to men, but in simpleness of heart, dreading the Lord [dreading the Lord God].
23 Whatever ye do, work ye of will, as to the Lord and not to men;
24 witting that of the Lord ye shall take yielding of heritage [witting that of the Lord ye shall take reward of heritage]. Serve ye to the Lord Christ.
25 For he that doeth injury, shall receive that that he did evil; and acception of persons is not with God.[b]
4 Lords, give ye to servants that that is just and even, witting that also ye have a Lord in heaven.
