Instructions for Christian Households

Colossians 3:18-4:1
18Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered toward them. 20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 21Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. 22Slaves, obey your masters according to the flesh in everything, not with eye-service as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23Whatever you do, work at it from the soul, as for the Lord and not for men. 24Knowing that you will receive the reward of the inheritance from the Lord; serve the Lord Christ. 25For the one who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done wrong, and there is no partiality.
Chapter 4
1Masters, provide your slaves with what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
