Instructions for Christian Households

1.

Today's Passage: Colossians 3:18-25

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).

---

18. Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.

19. Husbands, love your wives and never treat them harshly.

20. Children, always obey your parents, for this pleases the Lord.
21. Fathers, do not aggravate your children,
or they will become discouraged.

22. Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do.
Try to please them all the time,
not just when they are watching you.
Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord. 
23. Work willingly at whatever you do, 
as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
24. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, 
and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
25. But if you do what is wrong, 
you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. 
For God has no favorites.
Colossians 3:18-25 NLT

3rd strategy for familiar passages.  Read Anew!
Read the passage from Last to First!

• Begin with asking God to open your heart to allow you to see these verses afresh with new eyes and hear with new ears.
  
• Now begin reading Chapter 3 beginning with verse 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20...18. (If there is a sentence please take the full sentence in the reverse reading.)
  
• Does the passage change in meaning? Does it give you a new insight into it?
• Finalize with re-reading the passage in the way it was originally written.
• Look back over the verses. Does any one verse stand out in your heart?
• Pray over that verse. Place it in our heart, your journal, on a 3X5 card or sticky note. Tape it in your bible, on a mirror, or on your desk.
