Deuteronomy 5:16
Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. -kjv
Ephesians 6:1-3
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. -kjv
This commandment is repeated in both old testament and new testament and is thus still a commandment today. This commandment, if followed, will add years to the person’s life.
Meditations 
According to scripture since my wife Nida and I have had enormous health problems we must not have honored our parents enough. I thought I did. However these verses do not describe everything in our life. I have been blessed financially and in other ways. It seems when bad health happens we are being taught a lesson.
