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.
