Ephesians 6:1-10 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, a for this is right.
2
"Honor your father and mother"—this is the first commandment with a promise:
3
"so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."
4
And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
5
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ;
6
not only while being watched, and in order to please them, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.
7
Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not to men and women,
8
knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are slaves or free.
9
And, masters, do the same to them. Stop threatening them, for you know that both of you have the same Master in heaven, and with him there is no partiality.
10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.
