Ephesians 6:4-6
New Testament for Everyone
4 Fathers, don’t make your children angry. Bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
5 Slaves, obey your human masters, with respect and devotion, with the same single-mindedness that you have towards the Messiah. 6 You must get on with your work, not only when someone is watching you, as if you were just trying to please another human being, but as slaves of the Messiah. Do God’s will from your heart.
