20. Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.
21. Fathers, don’t upset your children. If you are too hard to please, they might want to stop trying.
22. Servants, obey your masters in everything. Obey all the time, even when they can’t see you. Don’t just pretend to work hard so that they will treat you well. No, you must serve your masters honestly because you respect the Lord.
23. In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master.
24. Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, who will give you what he promised his people. Yes, you are serving Christ. He is your real Master.
25. Remember that anyone who does wrong will be punished for that wrong. And the Lord treats everyone the same.
