Ephesians 6:1-9 (CJB) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

Children, what you should do in union with the Lord is obey your parents, for this is right.

2

“Honor your father and mother” — this is the first commandment that embodies a promise —

3

“so that it may go well with you, and you may live long in the Land.”

4

Fathers, don’t irritate your children and make them resentful; instead, raise them with the Lord’s kind of discipline and guidance.

5

Slaves, obey your human masters with the same fear, trembling and single-heartedness with which you obey the Messiah.

6

Don’t obey just to win their favor, serving only when they are watching you; but serve as slaves of the Messiah, doing what God wants with all your heart.

7

Work willingly as slaves, as people do who are serving not merely human beings but the Lord.

8

Remember that whoever does good work, whether he be a slave or a free man, will be rewarded by the Lord.

9

And masters, treat your slaves the same way. Don’t threaten them. Remember that in heaven both you and they have the same Master, and he has no favorites.
