Ephesians 6:1–8

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),

“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

And do this not only to please them while they are watching, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,

because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
