Colossians 3:20
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
The apostle Paul quotes the old covenant in the law when addressing children, a fact seen in his parallel passage in: Ephesians 6:1-4
1.Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Passion – 1 Children, if you want to be wise, listen to your parents and do what they tell you, and the Lord will help you.
2 For the commandment, “Honor your father and your mother,” was the first of the Ten Commandments with a promise attached:
3 “You will prosper and live a long, full life if you honor your parents.” 4 Fathers, don’t exasperate your children, but raise them up with loving discipline and counsel that brings the revelation of our Lord.
