“You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I am the Lord.” LEVITICUS 19 : 32
The fear of the Lord will teach you courtesy and respect for the elderly
Honour thy parents (Eph 6:1-3). Do you respect the elderly (Prov 19:26)? One of the things the fear of God will teach you is to respect your elders (Prov 31:23; 1 Tim 5:1-2; 1 Pet 5:5). Their experiences in life are far richer than yours (Prov 16:31). A wise person will glean from them (Job 15:9-10); Prov 20:29). Their counsel will position you for a good standing in life (Ex 18:17-24).

「在白髮的人面前, 你要站起來;也要畏尊敬老人,又要敬畏你的神。我是耶和華。」
-「利未記十九章32節」
對主旳敬畏之心
教導你尊敬長者的禮節
當孝敬你的父母(參考以弗所書六章1-3節)。你是否尊敬自己的長輩呢(參考箴言十九章26節)?對主的敬畏之心會教導你去尊榮年長的人(參考箴言三十一章23節;提摩太前五章1-2節;彼得前書五章5節)。長者的人生閱歷遠比你的豐富(參考箴言十六章31節)。有智慧的人會從他們身上汲取經驗(參考約伯記十五章9-10節;箴言二十章29節),而他們的勸告亦將協助你在人生中找到更好的出路(參考出埃及記十八章17-24節)。
