Children and Parents

6 ^(A)Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Marriage like Christ and the Church

^22 (A)Wives, ^(B)subject yourselves to your own husbands, ^(C)as to the Lord. ²³ For ^(D)the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the ^(E)head of the church, He Himself ^(F)being the Savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

^25 (G)Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and ^(H)gave Himself up for her, ^26 (I)so that He might sanctify her, having ^(J)cleansed her by the ^(K)washing of water with ^(L)the word, ²⁷ that He might ^(M)present to Himself the church ^[a]in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be ^(N)holy and blameless. ²⁸ So husbands also ought to ^(O)love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;

¹⁵ but ^[a]speaking the truth ^(A)in love, ^[b]we are to ^(B)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the ^(C)head, that is, Christ,

Slaves and Masters

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

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