Latin
3For God hath made the father honourable to the children: and seeking the judgment of the mothers, hath confirmed it upon the children.
4He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days.
5And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up a treasure.
6He that honoureth his father shall have joy in his own children, and in the day of his prayer he shall be heard.
7He that honoureth his father shall enjoy a long life: and he that obeyeth the father, shall be a comfort to his mother.
