Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 
Colossians 3:21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 
Colossians 3:22 Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 
Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 
Colossians 3:24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. 
Colossians 3:25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. 
Colossians 4:1 Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. 
Colossians 4:2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 
Colossians 4:3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 
Colossians 4:4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. 
Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. 
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

Colossians 4:8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, 
Colossians 4:9 and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here. 
Colossians 4:10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him), 
Colossians 4:11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. 
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 
Colossians 4:13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. 
Colossians 4:14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. 
Colossians 4:15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 
Colossians 4:16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. 
Colossians 4:17 And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.” 
Colossians 4:18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

Passage

Colossians 3:1–17 (ESV)
Colossians 3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 
Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 
Colossians 3:3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 
Colossians 3:4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 
Colossians 3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 
Colossians 3:6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 
Colossians 3:7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 
Colossians 3:8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 
Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices
Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 
Colossians 3:11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. 
Colossians 3:12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 
Colossians 3:13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 
Colossians 3:14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 
Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Passage

Colossians 1:15–23 (ESV)
Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 
Colossians 1:16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 
Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 
Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 
Colossians 1:19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 
Colossians 1:20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. 
Colossians 1:21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 
Colossians 1:22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 
Colossians 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Passage

Colossians 1:1–14 (ESV)
Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 
Colossians 1:2 To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. 
Colossians 1:3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 
Colossians 1:4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, 
Colossians 1:5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 
Colossians 1:6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, 
Colossians 1:7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf
Colossians 1:8 and has made known to us your love in the Spirit. 
Colossians 1:9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 
Colossians 1:10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 
Colossians 1:11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, 
Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 
Colossians 1:13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 
Colossians 1:14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Passage

Luke 2:8–20 (ESV)
Luke 2:8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 
Luke 2:9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 
Luke 2:10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 
Luke 2:12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 
Luke 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 
Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” 
Luke 2:15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 
Luke 2:16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 
Luke 2:17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 
Luke 2:18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 
Luke 2:19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 
Luke 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Passage

1 John 4:7–21 (ESV)
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 
1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 
1 John 4:9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 
1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 
1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 
1 John 4:12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. 
1 John 4:13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 
1 John 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 
1 John 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 
1 John 4:17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 
1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. 
1 John 4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 
1 John 4:21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Passage

Nahum 2–3 (ESV)
Nahum 2:1 The scatterer has come up against you. Man the ramparts; watch the road; dress for battle; collect all your strength. 
Nahum 2:2 For the LORD is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches. 
Nahum 2:3 The shield of his mighty men is red; his soldiers are clothed in scarlet. The chariots come with flashing metal on the day he musters them; the cypress spears are brandished. 
Nahum 2:4 The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush to and fro through the squares; they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning. 
Nahum 2:5 He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up. 
Nahum 2:6 The river gates are opened; the palace melts away; 
Nahum 2:7 its mistress is stripped; she is carried off, her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves and beating their breasts. 
Nahum 2:8 Nineveh is like a pool whose waters run away. “Halt! Halt!” they cry, but none turns back. 
Nahum 2:9 Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things. 
Nahum 2:10 Desolate! Desolation and ruin! Hearts melt and knees tremble; anguish is in all loins; all faces grow pale! 
Nahum 2:11 Where is the lions’ den, the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and lioness went, where his cubs were, with none to disturb? 
Nahum 2:12 The lion tore enough for his cubs and strangled prey for his lionesses; he filled his caves with prey and his dens with torn flesh. 
Nahum 2:13 Behold, I am against you, declares the LORD of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard. 
Nahum 3:1 Woe to the bloody city, all full of lies and plunder— no end to the prey! 
Nahum 3:2 The crack of the whip, and rumble of the wheel, galloping horse and bounding chariot! 
Nahum 3:3 Horsemen charging, flashing sword and glittering spear, hosts of slain, heaps of corpses, dead bodies without end— they stumble over the bodies! 
Nahum 3:4 And all for the countless whorings of the prostitute, graceful and of deadly charms, who betrays nations with her whorings, and peoples with her charms. 
Nahum 3:5 Behold, I am against you, declares the LORD of hosts, and will lift up your skirts over your face; and I will make nations look at your nakedness and kingdoms at your shame. 
Nahum 3:6 I will throw filth at you and treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle. 
Nahum 3:7 And all who look at you will shrink from you and say, “Wasted is Nineveh; who will grieve for her?” Where shall I seek comforters for you? 
Nahum 3:8 Are you better than Thebes that sat by the Nile, with water around her, her rampart a sea, and water her wall? 
Nahum 3:9 Cush was her strength; Egypt too, and that without limit; Put and the Libyans were her helpers. 
Nahum 3:10 Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity; her infants were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; for her honored men lots were cast, and all her great men were bound in chains. 
Nahum 3:11 You also will be drunken; you will go into hiding; you will seek a refuge from the enemy. 
Nahum 3:12 All your fortresses are like fig trees with first-ripe figs— if shaken they fall into the mouth of the eater. 
Nahum 3:13 Behold, your troops are women in your midst. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has devoured your bars. 
Nahum 3:14 Draw water for the siege; strengthen your forts; go into the clay; tread the mortar; take hold of the brick mold! 
Nahum 3:15 There will the fire devour you; the sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the locust. Multiply yourselves like the locust; multiply like the grasshopper! 
Nahum 3:16 You increased your merchants more than the stars of the heavens. The locust spreads its wings and flies away. 
Nahum 3:17 Your princes are like grasshoppers, your scribes like clouds of locusts settling on the fences in a day of cold— when the sun rises, they fly away; no one knows where they are. 
Nahum 3:18 Your shepherds are asleep, O king of Assyria; your nobles slumber. Your people are scattered on the mountains with none to gather them. 
Nahum 3:19 There is no easing your hurt; your wound is grievous. All who hear the news about you clap their hands over you. For upon whom has not come your unceasing evil?

Psalm 50:22 “Mark this, then, you who forget God, lest I tear you apart, and there be none to deliver!
Psalm 50:23 The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”

Passage

Nahum 1 (ESV)
Nahum 1:1 An oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh. 
Nahum 1:2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. 
Nahum 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 
Nahum 1:4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither; the bloom of Lebanon withers. 
Nahum 1:5 The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it. 
Nahum 1:6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the heat of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken into pieces by him. 
Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him. 
Nahum 1:8 But with an overflowing flood he will make a complete end of the adversaries, and will pursue his enemies into darkness. 
Nahum 1:9 What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a complete end; trouble will not rise up a second time. 
Nahum 1:10 For they are like entangled thorns, like drunkards as they drink; they are consumed like stubble fully dried. 
Nahum 1:11 From you came one who plotted evil against the LORD, a worthless counselor. 
Nahum 1:12 Thus says the LORD, “Though they are at full strength and many, they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more. 
Nahum 1:13 And now I will break his yoke from off you and will burst your bonds apart.” 
Nahum 1:14 The LORD has given commandment about you: “No more shall your name be perpetuated; from the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the metal image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.” 
Nahum 1:15 Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows, for never again shall the worthless pass through you; he is utterly cut off.

Passage

Jonah 4 (ESV)

Jonah 4:1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
Jonah 4:2 And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.
Jonah 4:3 Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”
Jonah 4:4 And the Lord said, “Do you do well to be angry?”
Jonah 4:5 Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city.
Jonah 4:6 Now the Lord God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.
Jonah 4:7 But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered.
Jonah 4:8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
Jonah 4:9 But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.”
Jonah 4:10 And the Lord said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night.
Jonah 4:11 And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?”

Passage

Jonah 3 (ESV)

Jonah 3:1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying,
Jonah 3:2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”
Jonah 3:3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey in breadth.
Jonah 3:4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”
Jonah 3:5 And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
Jonah 3:6 The word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Jonah 3:7 And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water,
Jonah 3:8 but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
Jonah 3:9 Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”
Jonah 3:10 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.

Jonah 2 (ESV)

Jonah 2:1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,
Jonah 2:2 saying, “I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.
Jonah 2:3 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.
Jonah 2:4 Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’
Jonah 2:5 The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head
Jonah 2:6 at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.
Jonah 2:7 When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.
Jonah 2:8 Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
Jonah 2:9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!”
Jonah 2:10 And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
