181WivesG1135, 2beG5293 subjectG5293 to your husbandsG435, as is fittingG433 in the LordG2962. 193HusbandsG435, loveG25 your wivesG1135 and do not becomeG4087 bitterG4087 againstG4314 them. 204ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in everythingG3956, for thisG3778 is pleasingG2101 5to the LordG2962. 216FathersG3962, do not 7antagonizeG2042 your childrenG5043, soG2443 thatG2443 they will not becomeG120 discouragedG120.
2289SlavesG1401, obeyG5219 thoseG3588 who are your 10humanG4561 mastersG2962 in everythingG3956, 11not with 12eye-serviceG3787, as people-pleasersG441, but with sincerityG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 the LordG2962. 23WhateverG3739G1437 you doG4160, doG2038 your workG2038 13heartilyG5590, 14as for the LordG2962 and not for peopleG444, 2415knowingG3609 that it is from the LordG2962 that you will receiveG618 the rewardG469 16of 17the inheritanceG2817. It is the LordG2962 ChristG5547 whom you 18serveG1398. 25For 19the one who doesG91 wrongG91 will receiveG2865 the consequences of the wrongG91 whichG3739 he has doneG91, and 2021that withoutG3756 partialityG4382.
