Obediência aos pais
A obediência aos pais é mandamento divino com promessa de vida longa. A Bíblia valoriza a honra filial e ensina os filhos a respeitar e obedecer aos pais com amor.
Honrar pai e mãe
O quinto mandamento ordena honrar pai e mãe. É o primeiro mandamento com promessa: para que vá bem e vivas muito na terra.
4 For God commanded, saying, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or mother, with death let him die.'
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.2 "Honor your father and mother,"which is the first commandment with a promise:3 "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth."4 And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. A obediência filial é expressão de amor e temor a Deus.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing in the Lord.
Disciplina e consequências
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A Bíblia adverte sobre as consequências sérias da rebeldia e desonra aos pais.
7 It is for discipline [that] you endure; God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
4 But if a certain widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety to their own household and to make repayment to their parents; for this is acceptable before God.
