Ephesians 6:1-3 NIV
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
Leviticus 19:32 AMP
You shall rise before the gray-headed and honor the aged, and you shall fear your God [with profound reverence]; I am the Lord.
Romans 13:1-3 NIV
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

Those in authority
Our Spiritual Leaders
