Colossians 3:18-25
Rules for Christian Households
18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the
Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with
them.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this
pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they
become discouraged.
22 Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your
earthly masters,[a]
not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of
heart, fearing the Lord.
23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and
not for men,
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the
inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he
has done, and there is no partiality.

Colossians 3:22
Or your masters according to the flesh
Psalm 16
You Will Not Abandon My Soul
A Miktam[a]
of David.
16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent
ones,
in whom is all my delight.[b]
4 The sorrows of those who run after[c]
another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.
5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.[d]
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being[e]
rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.[f]
11 You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
