¹⁸ So keep these words deep in your heart and in your soul, and have them fixed on your hand for a sign and marked on your brow;

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.
