  • Ephesians Study Notes—Chapter 6
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 6:2

      Honor your father and your mother: By quoting the fifth of the Ten Commandments, Paul shows that honoring, or respecting, one’s parents was not only a requirement of the Mosaic Law but also an obligation for Christians. (Ex 20:12; De 5:16) This was the first command with a promise because it specifically promised well-being and a long life to those who obeyed.​—Eph 6:3.
