Deuteronomy 5:16
"Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee,.... And is the first commandment with promise, as the apostle observes, Eph 6:2 with a promise

of long life and happiness in the land of Canaan, as follows: that thy days may be prolonged; see Exo 20:12 here it is added: and that it may go well with thee; and which the apostle also has in the place referred to: in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee; the land of Canaan; which the same apostle explains to a greater latitude: that thou mayest live long on the earth; applying it to Christians under the Gospel dispensation, whether Jews or Gentiles.
