²¹ Fathers, do not cause your children to be upset. If you do, they might think that they never do anything that is good.

²² Slaves, always obey your human masters. Do not do good work only when they can see you. Some people only work to make other people like them. Instead, serve your masters well because you want to. That will show that you respect the Lord as your master. ²³ Whatever things you are doing, do them well. Remember that you are serving the Lord. You are not only serving people.
