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.
Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou be long living on the land, which thy Lord God shall give to thee.
Honour thy father and thy mother, as thy Lord God commanded to thee, that thou live in long time, and that it be well to thee, in the land which thy Lord God shall give to thee.
For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and he that curseth father or mother, die he by death.
Sons, obey ye to your father and mother, in the Lord; for this thing is rightful [or is just].
Honour thou thy father and mother, that is the first commandment in [the] promise;
that it be well to thee, and that thou be long living on the earth.
And, fathers, do not ye provoke your sons to wrath; but nourish ye them in the teaching and chastising [or in the discipline and correction] of the Lord.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. A obediência filial é expressão de amor e temor a Deus.
Sons, obey ye to your father and mother by [or in] all things; for this is well pleasing in the Lord.
My son, hear thou the teaching of thy father, and forsake thou not the law of thy mother;
that grace be added, either increased, to thine head, and a bie to thy neck.
My son, keep the commandments of thy father; and forsake [thou] not the law of thy mother.
Bind thou those continually in thine heart; and encompass to thy throat.
When thou goest, go they with thee; when thou sleepest, keep they thee; and thou waking, speak with them.
For the commandment of God is a lantern, and the law is light, and the blaming of teaching is the way of life;
Sons, hear ye the teaching of your father; and perceive ye, that ye know prudence.
I shall give to you a good gift; forsake ye not my law.
For why and I was the son of my father, a tender son, and one begotten, before my mother.
And my father taught me, and said, Thine heart receive my words; keep thou my behests, and thou shalt live.
Wield thou wisdom, wield thou prudence; forget thou not, neither bow thou away from the words of my mouth.
Forsake thou not it, and it shall keep thee; love thou it, and it shall keep thee.
A wise son is the teaching of the father; but he that is a scorner, heareth not, when he is reproved.
It is a proverb, A young waxing man after his way, and when he hath waxed eld [or eldeth], he shall not go away from it.
Disciplina e consequências
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A Bíblia adverte sobre as consequências sérias da rebeldia e desonra aos pais.
A rod and chastising [or discipline] shall give wisdom; but a child, that is left to his own will, shameth his mother.
He that tormenteth his father, and fleeth from his mother, shall be full of evil fame, and shall be cursed.
Crows of the strand [or the streams] peck out that eye, that scorneth the father, and that despiseth the child-bearing of his mother; and the young of an eagle eat that eye.
He that smiteth his father, or his mother, die he by death.
If a man beget a son rebel, and a froward, that heareth not the behest of his father and mother, and he is chastised, and despiseth to obey to them,
they shall take him, and lead him to the elder men of that city, and to the gate of doom;
and they shall say to them, This our son is overthwart, and rebel; he despiseth to hear our behests, or admonishings, he giveth attention to gluttonies, and to lechery, and to feasts.
The people of the city shall oppress him with stones, and he shall die, that ye do away evil from the midst of you, and that all Israel hear it, and dread.
The light of him that curseth his father and mother, shall be quenched in the midst of darknesses.
Abide ye still in chastising [or discipline]; God proffereth [or offereth] him to you as to sons. For what son is it, whom the father chastiseth not?
But if any widow hath children of sons, learn she first to govern her house, and requite to father and mother; for this thing is accepted before God.
