1 As for children, obey your parents in the Lord, because it is right.
2 The commandment Honor your father and mother is the first one with a promise attached:
3 so that things will go well for you, and you will live for a long time in the land.
4 As for parents, don’t provoke your children to anger, but raise them with discipline and instruction about the Lord.
5 As for slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling and with sincere devotion to Christ.
6 Don’t work to make yourself look good and try to flatter people, but act like slaves of Christ carrying out God’s will from the heart.
7 Serve your owners enthusiastically, as though you were serving the Lord and not human beings.
