Children Obey your parents in the Lord For this is right "Honour "Your father and your mother" Which is the first commandment with a promise "That it may go well with you "And that you'll live a long time on the earth" Fathers Do not provoke your children To anger, but raise them up Raise them In discipline, instruction of the Lord Slaves, now Obey your human masters with fear and with trembling In the sincerity Of your hearts, as to Christ Not just for watching eyes as people-pleasers but slaves of Christ Doing the will of God from the heart Obey with enthusiasm As though serving the Lord and not people Because you know that each person Whether slave or free If he does something good This will be rewarded by the Lord Masters Treat your slaves the same way Giving up the use of threats Because You know you both have the same master in heaven And there is no favoritism with him
