Colossians 3:18-4:1

18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be grievous to them.

20 Children, obey your fathers and mothers in all things, for that is well pleasing to the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not berate your children, lest they be of a desperate mind.

22 Servants, be obedient to your earthly masters in all things – not with eye-service, as men pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord, and not for men, 24 inasmuch as you know that from the Lord you will receive the reward of inheritance. For you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong, will receive for the wrong that he has done. For there is no respect of persons with God. 4 1 You masters, be just and fair to your servants, seeing you know that you also have a master in heaven.
