Ephesians 6:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]And ye, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in instruction and [b]information of the Lord.
5 (A)[c]Servants, be obedient unto them that are your masters, [d]according to the flesh, with [e]fear and trembling in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ,
6 Not with service to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, [f]doing the will of God from the heart.
