פירוש על קידושין 61:7

They returned and conceded about the first statements: All the more so is one obligated in His honor. For, like his father and his mother, He too is a partner in one's creation; and his life and death are given over to His hands.

"Honor the Lord with your wealth": In the Yerushalmi, "with your wealth (mehoncha)," is expounded as, "with what is graced to you (mechoncha)." This implies that the Holy One, blessed be He, was more exacting about the honor of father and mother than His [own] honor. For with His honor, He said, "Honor the Lord with your wealth," which is from what is graced to you. So it implies, from what He graced you with - meaning if one has money, he is obligated; but if not, he is exempt. But with the honor of father and mother, it is stated, "Honor your father and your mother"; so it implies whether he has money or whether he does not have [it]. And when he does not have, he is obligated to [knock on] doors to feed his father and his mother.

"The beginning of Your word is truth": Scripture was not required to say, "The beginning of Your word is truth," except because they were speaking ill about His first statements, saying He is warning about His [own] honor; but afterwards when they heard the end of His words, they returned and conceded - they learned that the beginning of His words were true.

The fact that God demands that children honor their parents is proof that God is not interested only in God’s own honor.
