Study 6 From the Book of Colossians is: Colossians
3:18 - 4:18
With this lesson we end the

1.
3:18
– 4:1. Observe how, in giving directions about the life of a Christian
household, Paul urges ‘upon each party its own duties and the other’s rights’.
What overriding concerns should influence all alike, and why?
2.
4:2-6.
List the activities here demanded as essential (a) to prayer, and (b) to our
relations with non -Christians. In my own practice of Christian
self-discipline, to which of these points do I need to give more attentions?
Can I learn from verses 3, 4, 12, how to pray for others?
Note. 3: 21. “Provoke” : by
excessive fault-finding and little or no praise.
