Ephesians 6:1-3
New Matthew Bible
How children should behave toward their fathers and mothers; likewise fathers toward their children, servants toward their masters, and masters toward their servants. An exhortation to the spiritual battle, and what weapons Christians should fight with.
6 Children, obey your fathers and mothers in the Lord, for this is right. 2 Honour your father and mother (which is the first commandment that has any promise with it), 3 so that you may prosper and live long on the earth.
