Ephesians 6:1
The Christian Warfare
SUMMARY OF EPHESIANS 6: Mutual Duties of Children and Parents. Of
Servants and Masters. The Warfare of the Saints. The Armor of God.
The Sword of the Spirit. Constant Prayer Commanded. Benediction.
Children, obey your parents. The duty of obedience to parents is
older than Christianity; as old as the parental relations.
In the Lord. Unless they require of you things forbidden by the
Lord. Our duty to Christ is superior, and if parents require us to
disobey him, we must still be loyal to him. This passage has been
thought to imply that all children of Christians are baptized in
infancy into the church, but the children addressed are surely not
babes, but old enough to hear and obey the apostolic command, and hence
old enough to have heard and obeyed Christ.
