1 Timothy 3:4 (NIV 1984)
He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect.

The Bible contains so much practical advice for us.  Heeding the advice found in the Scriptures can help us live our lives well – in relationship to others.  An important covenant between people, within the family, in the church, and as a member of society, in general, is respect – mutual respect for one another.  May we show those around us the respect that is due them as one of God’s children.  (inspired by Reflecting God – Devotions for Holy Living, WordAction Publishing Company)
