Honor your father and your mother, are the respectful words and actions that result from an internal attitude of esteem for your position.
The Greek word for honor means to venerate, appreciate, and value. Honor is to give them respect, not only by merit but also by rank. For example, some may not agree with the President's decisions, but still they must respect their position as the leader of their country. Similarly, children of all ages should honor their parents, regardless of whether their parents "deserve" honor or not.
God exhorts us to honor father and mother. He values honoring parents, enough to include him within the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20:12) and again in the New Testament: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and your mother, which is the first commandment with promise, that it may go well for you, and that you may live long on the earth. "(Ephesians 6: 1-3)
