69 Q. What is required in the fifth commandment?
A. The fifth commandment requireth the preserving the honour and performing the duties belonging to every one in their several places and relations, as superiors (Eph. 5:21), inferiors (1 Pet. 2:17), or equals (Rom. 12:10).

Could someone please explain to me the part of the above answer I have put in italics "as superiors (Eph. 5:21), inferiors (1 Pet. 2:17)". 

Ephesians 5:21 (ESV) 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

1 Peter 2:17 (ESV) 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
