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 Aloha hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and whoso curseth his father or his mother, to die he shall die:
1 Children, obey your parents in our Lord, for this is right; and this is the first commandment which promiseth.2 Honour thy father and thy mother,3 that it may be well with thee, and thy life be prolonged upon the earth.4 Parents, make not your children angry, but make them to grow in the discipline and in the doctrine of our 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 every thing, for so it is pleasing before our 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 Endure, therefore, correction, because Aloha acteth towards you as with children: for who is a son whom his father doth not correct?
4 And if there be a widow who hath children, or children's children, let them learn first to do justly for their families, and to repay the debts (owing) to their parents; for this is acceptable before Aloha.
