Your parent’s counsel is there to protect you
“My son, obey your father’s commands, and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck. When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you.” (Prov. 6:20-22 NLT)
Your parent’s collective discipline will protect you from immorality
“For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life. It will keep you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman. Don’t lust for her beauty. Don’t let her coy glances seduce you. (Prov. 6:23-25 NLT)
A command with a promise
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” (Eph. 6:1-3 NIV)
Well pleasing to the Lord
“Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.” (Col. 3:2 NASB)
