18 A wife must put her husband first. This is her duty as a follower of the Lord.
19 A husband must love his wife and not abuse her.
20 Children must always obey their parents. This pleases the Lord.
21 Parents, don't be hard on your children. If you are, they might give up.
22 Slaves, you must always obey your earthly masters. Try to please them at all times, and not just when you think they are watching. Honor the Lord and serve your masters with your whole heart.
23 Do your work willingly, as though you were serving the Lord himself, and not just your earthly master.
24 In fact, the Lord Christ is the one you are really serving, and you know he will reward you.
