Honor your father and mother.

Exodus 20:12

Children, do what your parents tell you, for this is the right thing to do.

Ephesians 6:1

Exodus 20 (Free Bible Version)

9 You have six days to work and earn your living,
10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you.
11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days, and then rested on the seventh day. That's why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
13 You must not murder.
14 You must not commit adultery.
15 You must not steal.
