Ephesians 6: 1 - 9
|
| 1
|
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
|
| 2
|
"Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise),
|
| 3
|
"that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth."
|
| 4
|
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
|
| 5
|
Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;
|
| 6
|
not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
|
| 7
|
rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to men,
|
| 8
|
knowing that whatever good any one does, he will receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
|
| 9
|
Masters, do the same to them, and forbear threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.
