How long are children to respect their parents Proverbs 23 22 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee and despise not thy mother when she is old. Prompt discipline is an expression of parental love. Proverbs 13 24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Youth can be Christ-like examples. 1 Timothy 4 12 Let no man despise thy youth but be thou an example of the believers in word in conversation in charity in spirit in faith in purity. Children should learn from their parents. Proverbs 1 8 My son hear the instruction of thy father and forsake not the law of thy mother It is wrong to take unfair advantage of parents.
