The first relationship that Paul talked about was the marriage relationship (5:21–33). In this section, Paul talked about another relationship: that of children and parents. Children should obey their parents, and parents should train their children with love and Christian discipline.
Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:
Paul’s advice to children and parents (GW)
Children should obey their parents
“that it may go well with you
“Do this so that whatever happens to you(sing) will be good,
The thing that he promised is this: “If you(sing) obey your parents, things will go well for you(sing),
that it may go well with you: This verse continues the Old Testament quotation that started in 6:2a.
Here are some other ways to say that it may go well with you:
that everything that happens to you will be good
that your life may be full of blessings
and that you may have a long life on the earth.”
and so that you(sing) will live a long time on this earth.”
and you(sing) will live a long time.”
and that you may have a long life: The clause that you may have a long life means “that you will live a long time.” For example:
you may live a long time (GNT)
There may be an idiom in your language to express a person living till old age.
on the earth: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as on the earth is literally “in the land.” In the original quotation in Exodus 20:12, “land” refers to Canaan, but here it refers to the earth where we live. In your translation, it may be more natural to leave this implicit. For example:
and you will have a long and happy life (CEV)

ἵνα
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἵνα εὖ σοί γένηται καί ἔσῃ μακροχρόνιος ἐπί τῆς γῆς)
The connecting phrase so that introduces a goal relationship. The goal or purpose of obeying your father and mother is to live well and long on the earth.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
