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 has commanded, saying,'Honor father and mother'; and'Whosoever reviles father or mother, let him be punished with death.'»
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is just.2 Honor your father and mother, (which is the first commandment with a promise,)3 that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.4 Also, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; but bring them up in the correction and instruction 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 to 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 If you endure chastisement, God deals with you as his children. For what son is there whom his father does not chastise?
4 but if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let these learn first piously to take care of their own family, and then to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
