Ephesians 6:1-9

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

2“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise:

3“that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

4And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

5Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

6not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

7with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

8knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

9And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
