4Kai tois patroir, mē parorgizavōr teim tekneim vu, alla ektrefavōr auteim en paideia kai nouthesia kuriou.Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5Tois douloir, hupakouavōr toi ⸂kata sarkan kurioi⸃ meta fobou kai tromou en haplota tau kardiau vu hōs to Christo,Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6mē kata ofthalmodoulian hōs anthrōpareskois alla hōs ⸀doulois Christou poiarōntois tem thelēmem tou theou, ek psuchauAnd do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7meta eunoiau douleuarōntois, hōs to kurio kai ouk anthrōpoi,Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men, 8oidarēntois hoti ⸂hekastos, hem an⸃ poiateia agathem, houtem ⸀komizeti ⸀para kuriou, eite doulos eite eleutheros.because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
9Kai tois kurioir, teim auteim poiavōr pros autoin, aniēkarōntois tan apeilan, oidarēntois hoti kai ⸂autoiu kai vu⸃ tos kurios atō en ouranoi, kai prosōpolēmpsias ouk atō para auto.And masters, do the same for your slaves. Give up your use of threats, because you know that He who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him.

To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints. 19kai huper mu, hina mi dōiteia logos en anoixia teu stomeu mu, en parrēsia gnōrizara tem mustēriem teu euangelieuPray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20huper heu presbeuamō en halusia, hina en aute parrēsiazemeia hōs datō min lalara.for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.
