Ephesians 6:1-9

Paul continues this section by going into another specific relationship. Having completed his commands concerning the husband wife relationship, he now moves on to the parent child and will conclude with the master slave relationship. These relationships are all a reflection of our relationship with Jesus.Therefore, the key to all our relationships is our relationship with Jesus. Are we walking in obedience? Are we filled with the Holy Spirit? Do we live in the fear of God? This will define a person in a right relationship with Jesus. The key to right with one another in Christ is to be right with Jesus.

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
