20 Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.
3 Jesus asked them, Why do you break Gods law so that you can keep your own law?
4 God said, "Respect your father and your mother." And God said, "Anyone who says wrong things to his father or his mother will surely die."
8 A man must care for his own people. At least he must care for his family. If he does not care for them, he shows that he does not believe in God. He is worse than one who has never believed.
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.
4 If they have children or grandchildren, they should learn that the first place to do Gods work is in the home to help their own family. They should help their parents because their parents have helped them. This will please God.

4 God said, "Respect your father and your mother." And God said, "Anyone who says wrong things to his father or his mother will surely die."
5 But you say, "Tell your father or your mother that you have given to God what you were going to give to them." You say, "If anyone says that, then he does not need to help his father or mother."
6 You make Gods law to mean nothing so you can keep your own laws!
1 Be sure of this. In the last days hard times will come.
2 People will love themselves. They will love money. They will talk about themselves and be proud. They will say wrong things about people. They will not obey their parents. They will not be thankful. They will not keep anything holy.
3 They will have no love. They will not agree with anybody. They will tell lies about people. They will have no self-control. They will beat people. They will not love anything that is good.
1 Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants you to. This is the right thing to do. 2,
