{Obey your parents} (hupakouete tois goneusin). Old verb
to listen under (as looking up), to hearken, to heed, to obey.
{In all things} (kata panta). This is the hard part for the
child, not occasional obedience, but continual. Surely a
Christian father or mother will not make unreasonable or unjust
demands of the child. Nowhere does modern civilization show more
weakness than just here. Waves of lawlessness sweep over the
world because the child was not taught to obey. Again Paul argues
that this is "in the Lord" (en Kuri(9369)).
