For God said, 'Honor your father and mother'^[a] and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.'^[b] 5 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,' 6he is not to 'honor his father^[c]' with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: But this verse does not mean to kill children like everyone seems to assume like they thought you meant. It's just the way you put it and wrote it before in your blog. Even in the Ten commandments it says honor your mother and father.
