19. Husbands, love your wives, and be gentle to them.
20. Children, obey your parents in all things. This pleases the Lord.
21. Fathers, do not nag your children. If you are too hard to please, they may want to stop trying.
22. Slaves, obey your masters in all things. Do not obey just when they are watching you, to gain their favor. But serve them honestly, because you respect the Lord.
23. In all the work you are doing, work the best you can. Work as if you were working for the Lord, not for men.
24. Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, which he promised to his people. You are serving the Lord Christ.
25. But remember that anyone who does wrong will be punished for that wrong. And the Lord treats everyone the same.
