Colossians 3:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
14 And over[a] all these things put on love, which is the bond[b] of [c] perfection. 15 And let the peace of [d] Christ be arbitrating[e] in your hearts— into which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ be dwelling in[f] you richly, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing each other with psalms[g], hymns, spiritual songs; with gratitude[h] singing with[i] your hearts to God.
