1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. 2 |Honor your father and mother,| which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely, 3 |that it may go well with you and that you will live a long time on the earth.| 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. 5 Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart as to Christ, 6 not like those who do their work only when someone is watching--as people-pleasers--but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart. 7 Obey with enthusiasm, as though serving the Lord and not people, Ephesians 6:1-7, New English Translation.
