104. Q.

What does God require
in the fifth commandment?
A.
That I show all honour, love, and faithfulness
to my father and mother
and to all those in authority over me,
submit myself with due obedience
to their good instruction and discipline, 1
and also have patience with their weaknesses
and shortcomings, 2
since it is God's will
to govern us by their hand. 3
