    Paul’s Letter To The Ephesians

4 - Fathers, don’t be the kind of parent your children will hate and be angry toward! But do bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

     5 Bondservants [working off a borrowing of money or land usage] obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, 6 not as a people pleaser, in phoniness, but as true servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, 8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this they will receive back from the Lord, whether one is a bondservant or is free. 9 And misters, do the same to them, don’t be threatening and intimidating, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and with him there is no partiality {Paul remember is establishing and building up churches/groups of brother and sister believers who understand the Truth, the exceedingly good news, and can pass it along. And by embracing righteousness, genuineness and (imo) logic - aka God’s Spirit/Presence - will fare well and endure.}
