14 Mais par-dessus toutes ces choses revêtez-vous de la charité, qui est le lien de la perfection.
15 Et que la paix de Christ, à laquelle vous avez été appelés pour former un seul corps, règne dans vos cœurs. Et soyez reconnaissants.
16 Que la parole de Christ habite parmi vous abondamment; instruisez-vous et exhortez-vous les uns les autres en toute sagesse, par des psaumes, par des hymnes, par des cantiques spirituels, chantant à Dieu dans vos cœurs sous l’inspiration de la grâce.
17 Et quoi que vous fassiez, en parole ou en œuvre, faites tout au nom du Seigneur Jésus, en rendant par lui des actions de grâces à Dieu le Père.
18 Femmes, soyez soumises à vos maris, comme il convient dans le Seigneur.
