Ephesians 6:1-9 NKJV


Ephesians 6:1-9 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

"Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise;

"that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not men,

knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

Colossians 3:18-25 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is fitting to the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.


Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.


Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
                                                                                                                      Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.


And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,


knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ


But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.


Colossians 4:1 Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in Heaven.


1 Timothy 6:1-10 Let as many bondservants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor; so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.


And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.


If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness,


he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,


useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.


Now godliness with contentment is great gain.


For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out,


And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.


But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.


For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have stayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.


Romans 2:1-11 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.


But we know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.


And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgement of God?


Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?


But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God,


who "will render to each one according to his deeds",


eternal life to those who by patience continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;


but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness--indignation and wrath,


tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;


but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, top the Jew first and also to the Greek.


For there is no partiality with God.
