6. He who honors his father will find happiness in his own children, and he will be heeded in the day of his prayer.
7. He who honors his father will live a long life. And he who obeys his father will be a refreshment to his mother.
8. He who fears the Lord honors his parents, and he will serve them as masters, for it is they who conceived him.
9. In word and deed, and in all things, honor your father with patience,
10. so that a blessing may come to you from him, and so that his blessing may remain to the very end.
11. The blessing of the father strengthens the houses of the sons; but the curse of the mother uproots even its foundation.
12. Do not boast in the disgrace of your father; for his shame is not your glory.
13. For the glory of a man is from the honor of his father, and a father without honor is a discredit to the son.
14. Son, support your father in his old age, and do not grieve him in his life.
15. And if his mind should fail, show kindness; and do not spurn him when you are in your strength. For almsgiving to the father will never be forgotten.
16. For even in return for the sin of the mother, good will be repaid to you.
17. And you will be built up in justice, and you will be remembered in the day of tribulation. And your sins will dissolve like ice in warm weather.
18. What an evil form has he who forsakes his father! And whoever exasperates his mother is accursed by God.
19. Son, perform your works in meekness, and you shall be loved beyond the glory of men.
20. However great you may be, humble yourself in all things, and you will find grace in the presence of God.
21. For only the power of God is great, and he is honored by the humble.
