Read in context

Colossians 3:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

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

16 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.
