12 Since you are God’s special people, holy and dearly loved, adopt a sympathetic nature that is kind, humble, gentle, and patient. 13 Be patient with one another, forgive others among you if you have grievances against one another. Just as the Lord forgave you, you should do the same. 14 Above all, love one another, which is the perfect bond that will hold you together. 15 May the peace of Christ direct your thinking, because you were called to this by God who makes you one, and thank God for it! 16 Let Christ’s message fully live in you. In every wise way teach and instruct one another through psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing praises to God in gratitude and sincerity. 17 Whatever you do, whether in word or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, praising God the Father through him. 18 You married women, respect your husbands appropriately in the Lord. 19 You married men, love your wives and don’t treat them badly. 20 You children, always do what your parents tell you because this is what pleases the Lord. 21 You fathers, don’t make your children mad, so they won’t feel like giving up.
