Ephesians 6:1-9

Children and Parents

^aChildren, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 ^aHonor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3 so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long in the land.
4 ^aFathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but ^bbring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5 ^aSlaves, be obedient to those who are your ¹masters according to the flesh, with ^bfear and trembling, in the ²integrity of your heart, ^cas to Christ; 6 ^anot ¹by way of eyeservice, as ^bmen-pleasers, but as ^cslaves of Christ, ^ddoing the will of God from the ²heart, 7 serving with good will ^aas to the Lord, and not to men, 8 ^aknowing that ^bwhatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, ^cwhether slave or free.
9 And masters, do the same things to them, ^agiving up threatening, knowing that ^bboth their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is ^cno partiality with Him.
