In the fifth chapter as Paul deals with the believers� walk, we are to walk in love, to walk as children of light and we are to walk circumspectly or diligently, accurately, carefully or perfectly, as we looked at that Greek word in its many shades of meaning. And having told us to walk in love and to walk circumspectly and to walk as children of the light, he then went into our inter-personal relationships. Telling us how we should walk in relationship to our wives, if we are husbands, or walk in relationship to our husbands, if we are wives.As we enter into chapter six he is still dealing with inter-personal relationships. He turns first of all in chapter six to the children. The commandment is, Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. The �in the Lord� would seem to be a qualifying kind of a term. There are some parents who demand of their children things that are not godly. And if a child is ordered by his parents into an activity that is sinful, then the child has the obligation really to not submit to the authority of the parent if they are demanding some evil practice of the child.
