6 Children, what you should do in union with the Lord is obey your parents, for this is right. ² “Honor your father and mother” — this is the first commandment that embodies a promise — ³ “so that it may go well with you, and you may live long in the Land.”^[a]

⁴ Fathers, don’t irritate your children and make them resentful; instead, raise them with the Lord’s kind of discipline and guidance.
