18

Wives, be under the authority of your husbands, as is right in the Lord.

19

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

20

Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

21

Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.

22

Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

23

Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men

24

Being certain that the Lord will give you the reward of the heritage: for you are the servants of the Lord Christ.

25

For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.
