Let the teaching of Christ live inside you richly. Use all wisdom to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Husbands, love your wives, and be gentle to them.

Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.

Wives, be willing to serve your husbands. This is the right thing to do in following the Lord.
