Christ in Your Home
18Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. p
19Husbands, qlove your wives rand don’t be bitter stoward them.
20Children, tobey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21Fathers, udo not exasperate vyour children, so they won’t become discouraged.
22Slaves, obey your human wmasters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord. x
23Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, yas something done for the Lord and not for men, z24knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ. 25For the wrongdoer awill be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism.
4Masters, bsupply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you too have a Master in heaven.
