Bible verse about respecting parents

Answer 1

Here are a few that I can think of

http://wiki.answers.com/passage/?search=Colossians+3:20&version=ESV

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

Proverbs 1:8-9

8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction

and do not forsake your mother's teaching.

9 They are a garland to grace your head

and a chain to adorn your neck.

http://wiki.answers.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+29:15&version=ESV

The rod and reproof give wisdom,but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

Answer 2

Psalm 127:3-5 states, Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Answer 3

Proverbs 22:6 kjv Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 23:13-14 kjv Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Now, this does NOT say to enjoy beating (or nowadays, spanking) your child, and if you spank anywhere but the bottom, be prepared to face child abuse charges.

Answer 4

Honor thy mother and father and your days will be long (the fifth commandment)

Answer 5

The Bible line that says respect and honour your parents so your life will be long on earth.
