• Godly (religiously)

With a regard to what pleases God, and not what pleases self or parents so much.

• Quickly & Expediently

Without waiting to ask the reason or promising to obey at some future time.

• Heartily & Sincerely

As opposed to that hypocritical obedience which some children yield when their parents are in sight, because they are afraid of the consequences.

• Cheerfully

There is an obedience of the hand but a disobedience of the heart.

• Completely

It is of no use for children to obey in some things and disobey in others; to do half what their parents command, and leave half undone.

• Always

Not simply till you go to university, working, adulthood, or married.
