The Canon of Conduct Ephesians 6:1 I. The Standard of Christianity. 'Right' is a law of conduct not based on accident or convenience; it arises out of the depths of eternity, and is comprehended in the depths of our nature. Duty is sublime, founded on eternal relationships; conscience is the index of the Divine and supernatural; right differs essentially from might; justice and convenience are terms wide asunder by the breadth of the heavens; righteousness is the law of the unchanging... read more

Chapter 27THE CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLDEphesians 6:1-9THE Christian family is the cradle and the fortress of the Christian faith. Here its virtues shine most brightly; and by this channel its influence spreads through society and the course of generations. Marriage has been placed under the guardianship of God; it is made single, chaste, and enduring, according to the law of creation and the pattern of Christ’s union with His Church. With parents thus united, family honour is secure; and a basis is... read more

6:1 Children, {1} obey your parents {2} in the {a} Lord: {3} for this is right.(1) He comes to another part of a family, and shows that the duty of the children toward their parents consists in obedience to them.(2) The first argument: because God has so appointed. And upon this it follows also that children are obligated to obey their parents, that they may not swerve from the true worship of God.(a) For the Lord is author of all fatherhood, and therefore we must yield such obedience as he... read more

6:2 {4} Honour thy father and mother; {5} (which is the first commandment with {b} promise;)(4) A proof of the first argument.(5) The third argument taken of the profit that ensues from it: because the Lord gave this commandment among all the rest a special blessing.(b) With a special promise: for otherwise the second commandment has a promise of mercy to a thousand generations, but that promise is general. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Ephesians 6:1-24

PARENTS AND CHILDREN (vs.1-4) Children are next addressed. The instruction is simple and uncomplicated. They are to obey their parents in the Lord, that is, as subject to the Lord's authority. False educators today boldly undermine this parental authority, and it is leading to ruin, for it denies what is right before God. The relationship of children is typical of that of believers to God as their Father. If a believer should obey God, then a child should obey his parents. More still is... read more

Speaking of the application to the three classes of the... read more

It was in this strain that the angels sang when they were heard by the shepherds of Bethlehem. But even goodwill requires to be defined.
