Colossians 3:20

Context
3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord.

Colossians 3:22

Context
3:22 Slaves, 1  obey your earthly 2  masters in every respect, not only when they are watching – like those who are strictly people-pleasers – but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.

1 tn On this word here and in 4:1, see the note on “fellow slave” in 1:7.

2 tn The prepositional phrase κατὰ σάρκα (kata sarka) does not necessarily qualify the masters as earthly or human (as opposed to the Master in heaven, the Lord), but could also refer to the sphere in which “the service-relation holds true.” See BDAG 577 s.v. κύριος 1.b.
