Ephesians 6

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

2  Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),

3  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.

5  Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6  Not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7  With good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:

8  Knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether `he be' bond or free.

9  And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.

10  Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
