1 Children, obey your parents the way the Lord wants, because this is the right thing to do.
2 The command says, “You must respect your father and mother.” This is the first command that has a promise with it.
3 And this is the promise: “Then all will go well with you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
4 Fathers, don’t make your children angry, but raise them with the kind of teaching and training you learn from the Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your masters here on earth with fear and respect. And do this with a heart that is true, just as you obey Christ.
