Ephesians 6:1-9

Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. Just as the LORD has a design for marriage, so He also has a design for families and for work as well.

Children are to obey their parents, and parents are to bring their children up in the discipline and instruction of the LORD. Employees are to obey/serve their employers from the heart as unto the LORD, and employers are to do good to their employees. Paul hasn’t switched topics here. He’s still talking about what it means to be a part of the Body of Christ. A “you all” thing. How each part does its part. For the building up of the Church.

And not only is this important for the healthy functioning of the Body, but it’s also a reflection of the LORD’s relationship to His people in the OT and should reflect our relationship to Him today. All parties involved, both those in authority and those under authority, are to do their job as unto the LORD. As an act of worship.
