^4 (A)Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but ^(B)bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Slaves and Masters

^5 (C)Slaves, be obedient to those who are your ^[a]masters according to the flesh, with ^(D)fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, ^(E)as to Christ; ^6 (F)not ^[b]by way of ^[c]eye-service, as ^(G)people-pleasers, but as ^(H)slaves of Christ, ^(I)doing the will of God from the ^[d]heart. ⁷ With goodwill ^[e]render service, ^(J)as to the Lord, and not to people, ^8 (K)knowing that ^(L)whatever good thing each one does, he will receive this back from the Lord, ^(M)whether slave or free.

⁹ And masters, do the same things to them, and ^(N)give up threatening, knowing that ^(O)both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is ^(P)no partiality with Him.

⁴¹ Why do you look at the ^[a]speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? ⁴² How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the ^[b]speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the ^[c]speck that is in your brother’s eye.
