Ephesians 6 Intro: The duty of children, and servants -- Our life a warfare -- The armor of Christian.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.
2 Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath; but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants, 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 Not with eye-service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 With goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men;
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 And, 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.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
