Exodus 20:12
12 a“Honor your father and your mother, bthat your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.Matthew 15:4-6
4For God commanded, c‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, d‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” ▼▼Or is an offering
6he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have fmade void the word ▼▼Some manuscripts law
of God. Mark 7:10-13
10For Moses said, h‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, i‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 11But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or his mother, “Whatever you would have gained from me is Corban”’ (that is, given to God) ▼▼Or an offering
— 12then you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or mother, 13thus kmaking void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.” 1 Timothy 4:8
8for while lbodily training is of some value, godliness mis of value in every way, as nit holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.1 Timothy 5:4
4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn oto show godliness to their own household and to make some return to their parents, for pthis is pleasing in the sight of God.1 Timothy 5:8
8But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for qmembers of his household, he has rdenied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
