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 said, Honour thy father and thy mother'; and Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
1 Children, be obedient to your parents as a Christian duty, for it is a duty.2 »Honour your father and your mother« –this is the first Commandment which has a promise added to it–3 »so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.«4 And you, fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up tenderly with true Christian training and advice.
Obedecer e respeitar
Filhos, obedecei a vossos pais no Senhor. A obediência filial é expressão de amor e temor a Deus.
20 Children be obedient to your parents in everything; for that is right for Christians.
Disciplina e consequências
A vara e a repreensão dão sabedoria. A Bíblia adverte sobre as consequências sérias da rebeldia e desonra aos pais.
7 The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing in the sight of God.
