Ephesians 5:33-6:9 (Epistle)
- 33
- Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
- 1
- Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
- 2
- Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise:
- 3
- that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.
- 4
- And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
- 5
- Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
- 6
- not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
- 7
- with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,
- 8
- knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
- 9
- And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
