Ephesians 6:1-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Children, obey your parents as you would the Lord, because this is right.

2. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise,

3. so that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land.

4. Fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

5. Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ.

6. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.

7. Serve with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men,

8. knowing that whatever good each one does, slave or free, he will receive this back from the Lord.
