Christian conduct » Fulfilling domestic duties
Children, obey your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for so is it right. "Honour thy father and mother," that is the first commandment that hath any promise, "that thou mayst be in good estate, and live long on the earth." read more.
And ye fathers, move not your children to wrath: but bring them up with the nurture and information of the Lord. Servants, be obedient unto your carnal masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ: not with service in the eyesight, as men-pleasers: but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart with good will, even as though serving the Lord and not men. And remember that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, that shall he receive again of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

Likewise, let the wives be in subjection to their husbands, that even they which believe not the word, may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives: while they behold your pure conversation coupled with fear. Whose apparel shall not be outward with broided hair, and hanging on of gold, other in putting on of gorgeous apparel: read more.
but let the hid man of the heart be uncorrupt, with a meek and a quiet spirit, which spirit is, before God, a thing much set by. For after this manner in the old time did the holy women which trusted in God tire themselves, and were obedient to their husbands, even as Sara obeyed Abraham and called him "Lord" - whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well, not being afraid of every shadow. Likewise, ye men, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as unto them that are heirs also of the grace of life, that your prayers be not let.
