1 Sons, obey ye to your father and mother, in the Lord; for this thing is rightful [for this thing is just, or rightful].
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Honour thou thy father and mother, that is the first commandment in [the] promise;
2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 that it be well to thee, and that thou be long living on the earth.
3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
4 And, [ye] fathers, do not ye provoke your sons to wrath; but nourish ye them in the teaching and chastising of the Lord [but nourish them in the discipline and correction, or chastising, of the Lord].
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
