Ephesians 6:1-4

Children and Parents

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 "Honor your father and mother" (which is the first commandment with a promise),
3 "in order that it may be well with you, and you may {live a long time} on the earth."
4 And fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
