Bible Question (short): the 5th commandment |
Question (full): Thank you Tim, Basically, I have the same thought of yours. However, why did Paul repeat the commandment in Ephesian 6:1-4 if it only directed to the Israelites in OT time? Was he also stressing a bit on God's promise? Was the promise meant to be the kingdom of God when applied to us (gentiles) nowadays? What was the original meaning of 'honour' in Greek, Latin? Because I am reading a Chinese bible (I am a Hong Kong citizen) together with an English (NIV) version. The meaning of 'honour' translated in Chinese, to my understanding, bears the meaning of 'obedience' and 'respect'. I don't get the meaning of 'honour'. Thanks again. Azure |
