14 And with all these things have love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of Christ govern your hearts; for that end, you are called in one body; and be thankful to Christ; 16 And let his word dwell in you abundantly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do it in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, giving thanks through him to God the Father. 18 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is appropriate in Christ. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter toward them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto our LORD. 21 Parents, do not provoke your children, that they may not be discouraged. 22 Servants, obey your human masters in all things, not with eyeservice, as men pleasers; but with a sincere heart, in fear of the LORD. 23 And whatever you do, do it with your whole soul, as to our LORD and not unto men; 24 Knowing that from the LORD you shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the LORD Christ. 25 But the wrongdoer shall be rewarded according to the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons.
