Ephesians

Sixth Day: Review Ephesians 5:22—6:9, concentrating on 6:5-9.

1. In Ephesians 6:9 Paul again carries out his theme of “submitting to one another.” He has told employees (slaves) to submit to their employers (slave-masters). What does he now command employers (slave-masters) to do? (Ephesians 6:9a)

2. Challenge: Paul says masters (employers) are to treat their slaves (employees) “in the same way.” Look back at Ephesians 6:5-8. How do you think this could be applied to employers?

3. From Colossians 4:1, what should masters (employers) provide for their slaves (employees)?

4. From the following passages, why should masters (employers) do all these things?

Ephesians 6:9b

Galatians 3:28

5. Personal: In all our relationships, we must remember that the ground is level at the foot of the cross. What has God been speaking to you about as you have worked through this week’s lesson? What are you going to do about it?
