What is the purpose of fifth commandments?

Answer 1

Here is the fifth commandment and the instruction is plain:

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. (Exodus 20.12)

In the New Testament this commanded is expanded and repeated:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

(Ephesians 6.1-3)

Answer 2

The 5th Commandment is “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you”.This Fifth Commandment helps us see how learning respect and honor in the family setting helps prepare us to show honor to our ultimate Father.

Answer 3

By refraining from murder.

Answer 4

Jews, Calvinists and the Septuagint say the fifth commandment is "Honor thy father and mother." Lutherans and Catholics say the fifth commandment is "Thou shall not murder." I suspect that this question is about the latter. There is plenty of biblical justification given for killing under certain circumstances. There are sins for which the death penalty is authorized, and not only is self defense authorized, but killing in the defense of others is authorized. Regardless of whether you consider these problematic, it is worth noting that the Hebrew "lo tirtzach" that is sometimes translated as "thou shall not kill" uses a word that has a range of meanings that refer to destructive activities ranging from "to break" or "to dash to pieces" to "to slay" and "to murder." This word is not used when describing authorized killing, so murder seems an appropriate English translation.

Answer 5

to worship God in the right way.
