Colossians 3:18-25
181WivesG1135, 2be subjectG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fittingG433 in the LordG2962. 193HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135 and do not be embitteredG4087 againstG4314 them. 204ChildrenG5043, be obedientG5219 to your parentsG1118 in allG3956 thingsG3956, for thisG3778 is well-pleasingG2101 5to the LordG2962. 216FathersG3962, do not exasperateG2042 your childrenG5043, soG2443 that they will not loseG120 heartG120.
227SlavesG1401, in allG3956 thingsG3956 obeyG5219 thoseG3588 who are your mastersG2962 8on earthG4561, 9not with 10externalG3787 serviceG3787, as those whoG441 merely pleaseG441 menG441, but with sincerityG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962. 23WhateverG3739G1437 you doG4160, doG2038 your workG2038 11heartilyG5590, 12as for the LordG2962 13ratherG3756 thanG2532G3756 for menG444, 2414knowingG3609 that from the LordG2962 you will receiveG618 the rewardG469 15of 16the inheritanceG2817. It is the LordG2962 ChristG5547 whom you 17serveG1398. 25For 18he who doesG91 wrongG91 will receiveG2865 the consequences of the wrongG91 whichG3739 he has doneG91, and 1920that withoutG3756 partialityG4382.
