¹⁸ Wives, submit your own selves unto your own husbands, as it is comely in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter unto them. ²⁰ Children, obey your fathers and mothers, in all things, for that is well pleasing unto the Lord. ²¹ Fathers, provoke not your children, lest they be of a desperate mind. ²² Servants, be obedient unto your bodily masters in all things: not with eye service as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart fearing God. ²³ And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as though ye did it to the Lord, and not unto men, ²⁴ forasmuch as ye know that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵ But he that doth wrong shall receive for the wrong that he hath done: for there is no respect of persons.

¹ Ye masters do unto your servants that which is just and equal, seeing ye know that ye have also a master in heaven.
