Paul gives a charge to Parents in this passage (Ephesians 6:1-4) and there are two commands one in negative then another in positive.
First the negative command and then the positive. The negative was necessary because in the ancient culture of both Gentile and Jewish households, the father often ruled the family in a rigid and domineering manner, with little concern for the desires and welfare of the wife and children.
The gospel changed these Gentile fathers, and Paul reminds them of their new way of living now possible because of the filling and empowerment by the Holy Spirit.
They are to throw off the filthy garments of the old man they used to be in Adam and put on the new garments of righteousness they now are in Christ.
