Letter 725
To Gigantius.
If you honor God, honor also those who begot you. If you fear God, fear your father and mother throughout the whole of your life. For the Lord says in the Law: "Let every one of mankind fear his father and his mother." [Leviticus 19:3]

Εἰ τιμᾷς τὸν θεόν, τίμα καὶ τοὺς γεννήσαντάς σε. Εἰ φοβῇ τὸν θεόν, φοβοῦ πατέρα καὶ μητέρα διὰ παντὸς τοῦ βίου. Φησὶ γὰρ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὁ Κύριος, ὅτι « Ἕκαστος τῶν ἀνθρώπων φοβείσθω τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ ».
