Obeying your Parents

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.

“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise),

…“that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.”

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.

A wise son heeds his father’s discipline, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.

But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

…for they will add length to your days, years and peace to your life.
