3 »Why do you, too,« He retorted, »transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother'; and Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
20 Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.
8 But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is behaving worse than an unbeliever.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.
1 But of this be assured: in the last days grievous times will set in.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient to parents, thankless, irreligious,
3 destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, opposed to goodness,
2 »Honour your father and your mother« –this is the first Commandment which has a promise added to it–
3 »so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.«
1 Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty.
2 »Honour your father and your mother« –this is the first Commandment which has a promise added to it–
3 »so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.«
4 And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.
3 »Why do you, too,« He retorted, »transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother'; and Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
5 but you –this is what you say: If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me–
6 he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
