Working For The Lord

As God’s chosen people,

      holy and dearly loved, 

  clothe yourselves with compassion, 

      kindness, humility,

         gentleness and patience.

Bear with each other 

    and forgive whatever grievances 

        you may have against 

              one another. 

Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 

And over all these virtues 

          put on love, 

    which binds them all together 
        in perfect unity.  

                             ~ Colossians 3:12-14

Whatever you do, 

      whether in word or deed, 

  do it all in the Name 

          of the Lord Jesus, 

      giving thanks to God the Father 

          through Him. 

                                       ~ Colossians 3:17

Whatever you do, 

      work at it with all your heart, 

  as working for the Lord, 

      not for men, 

  since you know that you will receive 

      an inheritance from the Lord 

          as a reward. 

It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

                                          ~ Colossians 3:23-24

Live a life worthy 

    of the calling you have received. 

Be completely humble and gentle: 

    be patient, 

        bearing with one another

             in love. 

Make every effort 

    to keep the unity of the Spirit 

         through the bond of peace.

                                           ~ Ephesians 4:2-4
