Exodus 20:12
New King James Version
12 (A)“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be (B)long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Proverbs 30:11
New King James Version
11 There is a generation that curses its (A)father,
And does not bless its mother.
Proverbs 30:17
New King James Version
17 (A)The eye that mocks his father,
And scorns obedience to his mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.
Matthew 15:4-8
New King James Version
4 For God commanded, saying, (A)‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, (B)‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, (C)“Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 (D)Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These(E) people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
