16 A palavra de Cristo habite abundantemente em vós com toda sabedoria, ensinando-vos e advertindo-vos uns aos outros; e cantai ao Senhor com salmos, hinos, e cânticos espirituais, com graça no vosso coração.

17 E tudo quanto fizerdes, por palavras ou por obras, [fazei] tudo no nome do Senhor Jesus, dando por meio dele graças ao Deus e Pai.

18 Mulheres, sede submissas aos vossos próprios maridos, como convém no Senhor.

19 Maridos, amai às esposas, e não as trateis amargamente.

20 Filhos, obedecei em tudo aos pais, porque isso é agradável ao Senhor.
