Ephesians 6:1-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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

2. Honour thy father and thy mother, which is the first commandment with a promise:

3. That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth.

4. And you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord.

5. Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ:

6. Not serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men, but, as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the heart,

7. With a good will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men.

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