18Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

20Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.

21Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.

22Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:

23whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;

24knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.
