Colossians 3:21 in Context — Colossians 3
19 Maridos, amai às esposas, e não as trateis amargamente.
20 Filhos, obedecei em tudo aos pais, porque isso é agradável ao Senhor.
21 Pais, não provoqueis aos vossos filhos, para que não percam o ânimo.
22 Escravos, obedecei em tudo aos [vossos] senhores segundo a carne, não servindo apenas quando observados, como que para satisfazer às pessoas, mas sim, com sinceridade de coração, temendo a Deus.
23 E tudo quanto fizerdes, fazei de coração, como para o Senhor, e não para as pessoas.
