VERS. 20. Children obey your Parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
The exhortation hath in it two things. First, their duty. Secondly, the reasons of it. Their duty hath in it four things. First, who are charged (Children). Secondly, what is charged upon them, (obey). Thirdly, to whom they owe it (your Parents). Fourthly, the extent how far forth (in all things). The reason is, because though it were not grateful & pleasing to the Parents by reason of their waywardness, yet it is well-pleasing to God.
