Ephesians 6:4-6

4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

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

6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
