2 The command says, “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first command that has a promise with it—
3 “Then everything will be well with you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
4 Fathers, do not make your children angry, but raise them with the training and teaching of the Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your masters here on earth with fear and respect and from a sincere heart, just as you obey Christ.
6 You must do this not only while they are watching you, to please them. With all your heart you must do what God wants as people who are obeying Christ.
7 Do your work with enthusiasm. Work as if you were serving the Lord, not as if you were serving only men and women.
8 Remember that the Lord will give a reward to everyone, slave or free, for doing good.
