‏ Ephesians 6:1

Obey your parents; it is to be understood here, as in chap Eph 5:24, that the obedience enjoined extends to all things not contrary to Christ's commands; for the addition, in the Lord, that is, obey as those who are in the Lord, and make his will the law of their being, excludes obedience to those commands which are contrary to Christ's word.
