That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven.
THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
That is,
We should fear and love God, and not despise or give offense to our parents or superiors; but honor, serve, obey, love, and esteem them.
62. Why must we honor father and mother?
Because God has placed them over us to care for us.
Lev. 19:3. Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father: I am the Lord your God.
63. How are children to show that they honor father and mother?
