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.
25 But Christ has no favorites! He will punish evil people, just as they deserve.
