1 Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants you to. This is the right thing to do. 2,
2 Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.
3 Fathers, do not make your children angry. But teach them the things children need to know, and tell them what they must not do. Teach them what Christ would teach them.
7 Do not give up when you are punished. God is treating you like sons. Is there a son who has never been punished by his father?

11 You are wrong, and yet you know how to give good things to your children. Much more, your Father in heaven will give good things to those who ask him.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.
