3:18 Advice by role
18 You wives should be subject to your husbands to the degree that it’s fitting in Yahweh.[ref]
19 You husbands should love your wives[ref]—don’t become bitter towards them.
20 You children should obey your parents in everything,[ref] because that pleases Yahweh.
21 You fathers shouldn’t be exasperating your children otherwise they may become discouraged.[ref]
22 You slaves should submit to your human masters in everything, not just when they’re watching like others do, but sincerely, and so honouring the master.[ref]
23 Whatever you all might be doing, consider in your hearts that you’re working for the master and not for people, 24 knowing that Yahweh will repay you with an inheritance because you’ve been serving the master messiah. 25 Anyone who’s doing wrong will be repaid for that wrongness, and there won’t be any favouritism.[ref]
4 You masters, ensure that you’re treating your slaves with goodness and equality, knowing that you all also have a master of your own in heaven.[ref]
