Ephesians 6:4-6
New Life Version
Ephesians 6:4-6
New Life Version
4 Fathers, do not be too hard on your children so they will become angry. Teach them in their growing years with Christian teaching.
5 You servants who are owned by someone must obey your owners. Work for them as hard as you can. Work for them the same as if you were working for Christ. 6 Do not work hard only when your owner sees you. You would be doing this just to please men. Work as you would work for Christ. Do what God wants you to do with all your heart.
