2 Honore ton père et ta mère (c’est le premier commandement avec une promesse),

3 afin que tu sois heureux et que tu vives longtemps sur la terre.

4 Et vous, pères, n’irritez pas vos enfants, mais élevez-les en les corrigeant et en les instruisant selon le Seigneur.

5 Serviteurs, obéissez à vos maîtres selon la chair, avec crainte et tremblement, dans la simplicité de votre cœur, comme à Christ,

6 non pas seulement sous leurs yeux, comme pour plaire aux hommes, mais comme des serviteurs de Christ, qui font de bon cœur la volonté de Dieu.
