Ephesians 6:4

Verse 4 of 24. The 6th of 6 chapters in Ephesians, in The Letters of Paul.

1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

2“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

3“that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”

4You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

5Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,

6not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

7with good will doing service as to the Lord and not to men,

8knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.
