Which verse instructs parents to teach their children diligently and to talk of them when sitting at home, and when walking by the way, and when lying down, and when rising up?

• A. Deuteronomy 6:7
• B. Psalm 78:5
• C. Ephesians 6:4
• D. Proverbs 22:1

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is daily, intentional faith formation within the family. Deuteronomy 6:7 explicitly tells parents to teach their children diligently and to talk about God’s commands at every ordinary moment—when you’re at home, when you’re traveling, when you lie down, and when you rise up. This paints a picture of lifelong, constant instruction as a core family duty, not a one-off lesson.

That’s why this verse stands out as the best choice. Other verses touch related themes but don’t match the exact pattern of continual, day-long verbal instruction in every situation. Psalm 78:5 speaks of God’s covenant and declaring His wonders to the generation, but it doesn’t prescribe the repeated daily routine in the home and on the road. Ephesians 6:4 encourages parents to raise their children in the Lord with nurture and admonition, yet it doesn’t present the specific cadence of talking about the commandments at all hours. Proverbs 22:1 focuses on the value of a good name rather than on how teaching should be carried out day by day.
