20 Children, obey your parents (A)in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 22 Bondservants, obey (B)in everything those who are your earthly masters,[a] not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23 (C)Whatever you do, work heartily, (D)as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord (E)you will receive the inheritance as your reward. (F)You are serving the Lord Christ.
