Brethren,

3:17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

3:18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

3:19Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.

3:20Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

3:21Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged.

3:22Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

3:23And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

3:24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

3:25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

4:1Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

Gospel

Luke 11.9-13

Read in context

The Lord said to His disciples,

9And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
