RULES FOR CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLDS
Masters, [on your part] deal with your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. And, masters, remember your Master.
PUT ON THE NEW SELF-FULL OF LOVE, PEACE, AND PRAISE
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
SEEKING THE THINGS THAT ARE FROM ABOVE PUT ON THE NEW SELF
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
LET NO ONE DISQUALIFY YOU AVOIDING ERRORS
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
PAUL’S MINISTRY TO THE CHURCH ALIVE IN CHRIST
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
LABORING TO PERFECT THE CHURCH
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.
OUR WONDROUS PRIVILEGES IN CHRIST
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
THE GOSPEL BEARING FRUIT
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.
