- Insight from Butler's Daily Bible Reading: Colossians 3:1–4:6—Conduct. This passage especially deals with the conduct of the saints. •Regulations: a number of regulations are given to guide the saints—they concern such things as affections, anger, speech, humility, forgiveness, giving attention to the Word and prayer. •Relationships: three relationships are addressed (Ephesians noted the same three relationships). They are husband/wife relationship (submission by wife, love by husband); parent /children relationship (children are to obey the parents in all things, and fathers are not to provoke their children to anger), and master / servants relationship (servants are to serve faithfully; masters are to treat the servants properly).
