What does Paul say in Ephesians about honoring parents?
In Ephesians, Paul addresses honoring parents by stating children ought to obey their parents, noting it is the first commandment of the promise. This is part of his references to nine of the Ten Commandments, with the Sabbath alone omitted.
Les explains that Paul in Ephesians refers to the commandment about honoring parents, stating children ought to obey their parents because it is the first commandment of the promise. This is significant because Paul refers to nine of the Ten Commandments throughout his letters, yet the only one he never mentions is the Sabbath command. Les points out that this omission separates believers from the legal system, as the Sabbath was under the law. So honoring parents is included among the commandments Paul affirms, while the Sabbath is glaringly absent.
