Did you know the Bible has a lot to say about “honor?” Children are commanded to honor their parents (Mt. 15:4), citizens their government (Rom. 13:7), churches their leaders (1 Ti. 5:17) and employees their employers (1 Ti. 6:1). Those are the easy ones, but as we dig a little deeper we also see that husbands are to honor their wives (1 Pet. 3:7) and churches are to honor their widows (1 Tim. 5:3). Our bodies are to be honored in purity (1 Thes. 4:4). Marriage is to be held in honor (Heb. 13:4). As a matter of fact, we are all even commanded to honor one another. Rom. 12:10 says, “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor.”
