By children he understands both males and females. Obey your parents; he requires them to yield humble subjection to those that brought them forth, or have just authority over them; see Exodus 20:12 Ephesians 6:1; paying reverence to them, Leviticus 19:3 Hebrews 12:9; observing their holy and prudent prescriptions, Luke 2:51; showing piety and kindness to them in all grateful offices, 1 Timothy 5:4, and submitting to their parental discipline, Jeremiah 35:6 Hebrews 12:9. In all things; in whatsoever is agreeable to the mind of the supreme Governor, who is absolute Sovereign, Acts 4:19, Acts 5:29. For this is well pleasing unto the Lord; and this upon the most cogent reason imaginable, because it is not barely pleasing, but well pleasing, or very acceptable, to the Lord, who arms parents with authority over their children, Ephesians 6:1-3.
