Ephesians 6:1-9 Children, you should obey your parents in the Lord i.e., as part of your Christian responsibility, for this is the right thing to do.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Children, you should obey your parents in the Lord [i.e., as part of your Christian responsibility], for this is the right thing to do. ² [Ex. 20:12 says], “Show honor to your father and mother,” (which is the first commandment that carries the promise), ³ “that things may go well with you and that you will live a long time on earth.” ⁴ And you fathers [Note: This word probably includes both parents], do not stir up your children to become angry, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. ⁵ Slaves, you should obey those who are your earthly masters, out of reverence and eagerness to please them, with a sincere heart, as you would [obey] Christ. ⁶ Do not serve them only when you are being watched, just to gain their approval, but as slaves of Christ, doing what God wants from your heart. ⁷ Render your service wholeheartedly, as you would to the Lord, and not [just] to people, ⁸ knowing that whatever good deed a person does, he will be rewarded for it from the Lord, whether he is a slave or a free person. ⁹ And you masters should treat your slaves the same way; do not threaten them, knowing that God, who is both their Master and yours, is in heaven and He does not respect any particular person [over another].
