Ano ang hinihingi ng Diyos sa ikalimang utos?

Na ipamalas ko ang paggalang, pag-ibig at katapatan sa aking ama at ina at sa lahat ng mga may kapangyarihan sa akin, magpasakop nang may nararapat na pagsunod sa kanilang mabuting tuntunin at pagtutuwid, at pati na rin ang pagtitiyaga sa kanilang kahinaan at kakulangan dahil kalooban ng Diyos na tayo’y pangasiwaan sa pamamagitan ng kanilang kamay.
