Respecting Parents

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

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

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

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

Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.

A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
