Ephesians 6:2-6 New English Translation (NET)

2. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment accompanied by a promise, namely,

3. “that it may go well with you and that you will live a long time on the earth.”

4. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline 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. not like those who do their work only when someone is watching – as people-pleasers – but as slaves of Christ doing the will of God from the heart.
