The Book of Colossians was an epistle written by Paul to the church at Colossae in southwestern Asia Minor. Paul was in prison while writing the epistle. The epistle is divided into two parts: the first two chapters focus on Jesus Christ, who he is and his authority and purpose. The last two chapters in the epistle focus on instructions for living including families and households.

Colossians 3 Instructions for Living, Families, and Households

1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
