¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord; ¹⁷and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

¹⁸The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord; ¹⁹the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them; ²⁰the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord; ²¹the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged. ²²The servants! obey in all things those who are masters according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God; ²³and all, whatever ye may do—out of soul work—as to the Lord, and not to men, ²⁴having known that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance—for the Lord Christ ye serve; ²⁵and he who is doing unrighteously shall receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no acceptance of persons.
