Duties in the Christian Household

18

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

19

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

20

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

21

Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.

22

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

23

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,

24

because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

25

Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
