五倫《孟子 ‧ 滕文公章句》
人之有道也，飽食、暖衣、逸居而無教，則近於禽獸。聖人有懮之，使契為司徒，教以人倫：父子有親，君臣有義，夫婦有別，長幼有敘（序），朋友有信。
The Bible has three relationships instead of five and Apostle Paul always use the relationship of Christ and the Church as the model for interaction:
Husband and Wife (Colossians 3:18-19, Ephesians 5:22-33, 1 Peter 3:1-7)
Parent and Child (Colossians 3:20-21, Ephesians 6:1-4)
Master and Servant (Colossians 3:22-4:1, Ephesians 6:5-9, 1 Peter 2:18-25)
Finally, we have two commandments (Deuteronomy 6:5, Leviticus 19:18) which undergird all the three relationships:
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:37-40 KJV)
