Ephesians 6:1-4

1You who are children, obey your parents. Because you belong to the Lord, that is the right thing to do.

2God's Law says: ‘Always respect your father and your mother.’ That is the first rule of God's Law that also has a promise.

3The promise is this: ‘As a result, you will be happy and you will live for a long time on the earth.’

4Fathers, do not do things that make your children angry. Instead, teach them carefully as they grow up. Help them to understand the message of the Lord, and help them to obey it.
