1ChildrenG3588G5043, obeyG5219 yourG4771 parentsG3588G1118 inG1722 the LordG2962: forG1063 thisG3778 isG1510 rightG1342. 2HonourG5091 thyG4771 fatherG3588G3962 andG2532 motherG3588G3384; (whichG3748 isG1510 the firstG4413 commandmentG1785 withG1722 promiseG1860;) 3ThatG2443 it may beG1096 wellG2095 with theeG4771, andG2532 thou mayestG1510 live longG3118 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093.

4AndG2532, yeG3588 fathersG3962, provokeG3949 notG3361 yourG4771 childrenG3588G5043 to wrathG3949: butG235 bringG1625 themG846 upG1625 inG1722 the nurtureG3809 andG2532 admonitionG3559 of the LordG2962.
