³⁶ I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you utter,

¹⁴ For God will bring every deed into judgment, including^[a] every secret thing, whether good or evil.^(A)

¹⁶ on the day when, according to my gospel, God through Christ Jesus judges the secret thoughts of all.^(A)

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books.^(A)

¹⁴ It was also about these that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “See, the Lord is coming^[a] with ten thousands of his holy ones,^{(A) 15} to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly^[b] of all the deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

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

Slaves and Masters

⁵ Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect^[a] and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ,^{(B) 6} not with a slavery performed merely for looks, to please people, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul.
