4 Servants, obey your boss. Respect him with all your heart and try to please him as you would Christ.
1 Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants you to. This is the right thing to do. 2,
2 Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.
3 Fathers, do not make your children angry. But teach them the things children need to know, and tell them what they must not do. Teach them what Christ would teach them.
8 A man must care for his own people. At least he must care for his family. If he does not care for them, he shows that he does not believe in God. He is worse than one who has never believed.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.
4 If they have children or grandchildren, they should learn that the first place to do Gods work is in the home to help their own family. They should help their parents because their parents have helped them. This will please God.
21 Fathers, do not make your children angry. They might stop trying to do right.
7 Do not give up when you are punished. God is treating you like sons. Is there a son who has never been punished by his father?
11 Which of you fathers will give your son a snake if he asks for a fish?
12 Will you give him a scorpion an insect with a sting if he asks for an egg?
13 You are wrong and yet you know how to give good things to your children. Much more, the Father in heaven will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.
