20 Hijos, obedeced á vuestros padres en todo; porque esto agrada al Señor.

21 Padres, no irritéis á vuestros hijos, porque no se hagan de poco ánimo.

22 Siervos, obedeced en todo á vuestros amos carnales, no sirviendo al ojo, como los que agradan á los hombres, sino con sencillez de corazón, temiendo á Dios:

23 Y todo lo que hagáis, hacedlo de ánimo, como al Señor, y no á los hombres;

24 Sabiendo que del Señor recibiréis la compensación de la herencia: porque al Señor Cristo servís.
