Colossians 3:1-4:1
So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.3For you died,and your life is hidden with Christ in God.4When Christ, who is yourlife, appears,then you also will appear with him in glory.
5Therefore, put to death what belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity,lust,evil desire, and greed,which is idolatry.6Because of these, God’s wrathis coming upon the disobedient,7and you once walked in these things when you were livingin them.8But now, put awayall the following: anger,wrath,malice,slander,and filthy language from your mouth.9Do not lieto one another, since you have put offthe old selfwith its practices10and have put onthe new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of yourCreator.11In Christ there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.
12Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved,put on compassion, kindness,humility,gentleness,and patience,13bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.14Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.15And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also calledin one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful.16Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.17And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the nameof the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
18Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.19Husbands,love your wivesand don’t be bittertoward them.20Children,obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.21Fathers,do not exasperateyour children, so that they won’t become discouraged.22Slaves, obey your humanmasters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, as people-pleasers, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.23Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people,24knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.25For the wrongdoerwill be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.

4:1 -Masters,deal with your slaves justly and fairly, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.
