Omgående og fortsat lydighed mod forældrenes kloge regler vil fremme børnenes lykke, bringe Gud ære og være til samfundets bedste. Børn bør lære, at den fuldkomne frihed består i at underkaste sig hjemmets love. De kristne må lære den samme lektie at den fuldkomne frihed består i at adlyde Guds lov.
