2 “Honor your father and mother
3 that everything may go well for you, and you may have a long life on earth.” This is an important commandment with a promise.
4 Fathers, don’t make your children bitter about life. Instead, bring them up in Christian discipline and instruction.
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with proper respect. Be as sincere as you are when you obey Christ.
6 Don’t obey them only while you’re being watched, as if you merely wanted to please people. But obey like slaves who belong to Christ, who have a deep desire to do what God wants them to do.
7 Serve eagerly as if you were serving your heavenly master and not merely serving human masters.
8 You know that your heavenly master will reward all of us for whatever good we do, whether we’re slaves or free people.
