Which verse says Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing unto the Lord?

• A. Colossians 3:20
• B. Exodus 20:12
• C. Sirach 42:7
• D. Tobit 7:14

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of a specific biblical instruction about family relationships and pleasing God. The exact line “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord” is found in Colossians 3:20. It is part of Paul’s guidance on how Christians should conduct themselves at home, linking obedience to pleasing the Lord.

Exodus 20:12 speaks about honoring father and mother, which is related but uses different wording and emphasizes honor as a principle for long life in the land. The other two verses come from different books and don’t contain the exact command about obeying parents in all things for God’s pleasure. So the verse that matches the quoted line precisely is Colossians 3:20.
