Lord’s Day 39
Q104. What does God require in the fifth commandment?
That I honor, love, and be loyal to my father and mother and all those in authority over me; that I obey and submit to them, as is proper, when they correct and discipline me; and also that I be patient with their failings—for through them God chooses to rule us.
