18hWives, submit to your own husbands, ias is fitting in the Lord.

19jHusbands, love your wives and do not be kbitter toward them.

20lChildren, obey your parents min all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

21nFathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

22oBondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23pAnd whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24qknowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; rfor 1you serve the Lord Christ. 25But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and sthere is no partiality.

4Masters, agive your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
