²“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),

³“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

⁴Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

⁵Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
