Respecting the Elderly

You are to rise in the presence of the elderly, honor the aged, and fear your God. I am the LORD.

Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

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

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

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

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

Pay everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.
