18 Wives, be subject to your own husbands as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children lest they become disheartened. 22 Slaves, in all things hearken unto your masters according to the flesh, not serving to be seen as those who only please men, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God; 23 And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men, 24 knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that does wrong shall receive the wrong which he has done, now that there is no respect of persons.
1 Masters, do that which is just and right with your slaves, knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
