4 And fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 "Honor your father and mother,"which is the first commandment with a promise:
3 "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth."
11 And which father among you, if his son asks for bread, will he give him a stone? Or [if he asks for] a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, being evil, know [how] to give good gifts to your children, by how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his [own] house, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
7 It is for discipline [that] you endure; God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
4 But if a certain widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety to their own household and to make repayment to their parents; for this is acceptable before God.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing in the Lord.
