Colossians 3:18-Colossians 4:1 - Mutual Responsibilities In Christian Relationships

¹⁸ Wives, be subject to the husbands, as is fit in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love the wives and be not bitter to them. ²⁰ Children, obey [your] parents in all things; for this is well pleasing in the Lord. ²¹ Fathers, be not fault-finding with your children, that they be not discouraged. ²² Servants, obey in all things masters according to the flesh, not with eye service, as those pleasing men, but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord. ²³ And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men; ²⁴ knowing that you will receive from the Lord the recompense of the inheritance. You serve Christ the Lord; ²⁵ for he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done, and there is no respect of persons.

¹ Masters, render to your servants what is just and equal, knowing also that you have a master in heaven.
