Colossians 3:20-25
New American Standard Bible
20 (A)Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing [a]to the Lord. 21 (B)Fathers, do not [b]antagonize your children, so that they will not become discouraged.
22 [c](C)Slaves, obey those who are your [d]human masters in everything, (D)not with [e]eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, do your work [f]heartily, (E)as for the Lord and not for people, 24 (F)knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward [g]of (G)the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you (H)serve. 25 For (I)the one who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and [h](J)that without partiality.
