By using the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten recursion relation of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, we proved the color reflection, U(1) decoupling, Kleiss-Kuijf and Bern-Carrasco-Johansson relations for color-ordered amplitudes of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. This proof verified the conjectured Bern-Carrasco-Johansson relations of matter fields. The proof depended only on general properties of superamplitudes. We showed also that the color reflection relation and U(1)-decoupling relation are special cases of Kleiss-Kuijf relations.
