³ You shall each revere your mother and father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.^(A)

¹² “Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.^(A)

Children and Parents

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord,^[a] for this is right. ² “Honor your father and mother”—this is the first commandment with a promise^(A)— ³ “so that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

⁸ “Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.^(A)
