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 did command, saying, Honour your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;
1 The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;2 honour your father and mother,3 which is the first command with a promise, 'That it may be well with you, and you may live a long time upon the land.'4 And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition gentle correction, counsel 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 the children! obey the 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 chastening you endure, as to sons God bears Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father does not chasten?
4 and if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
