‏ Ephesians 6:1

Duties of Children to Parents; Duties of Servants to Masters

In this passage, Paul gives practical advice for Christian families and workplaces. He teaches about the responsibilities of children, parents, servants, and masters. Paul shows that following Christ changes how we treat one another in every area of life.

v. 1: Paul instructs, Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right (Ephesians 6:1 a). Children should listen to and respect their parents, because it pleases God and is the right thing to do. Obedience to parents is a part of obeying God Himself, especially when their instructions agree with God's will.
