Ephesians 6:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 The promise is this: ‘As a result, you will be happy and you will live for a long time on the earth.’[a]
4 Fathers, do not do things that make your children angry. Instead, teach them carefully as they grow up. Help them to understand the message of the Lord, and help them to obey it.
Slaves and masters
5 You who are slaves, obey your human masters. Respect them and be afraid of them. Work well to help them, as if you were working for Christ as your master.
