Epistle
Eph 5.33-6.9
Read in contextBrethren,
5:33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband.
6:1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
6:2Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
6:3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
6:4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
6:5Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6:6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
6:7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
6:8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.
6:9And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
