Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord.
Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become disheartened.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in every respect, not only when they are watching– like those who are strictly people-pleasers– but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.

because you know that you will receive your inheritance from the Lord as the reward. Serve the Lord Christ.
