6 Jesus said to him,"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

2 There are many rooms in my Father's house. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going away to prepare a place for you?

36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."

7 What you endure is for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as sons. Is there a son whom his father does not discipline?

8 Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not his sons.

9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who used to discipline us, and we respected them for it. We should even more submit to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?

10 For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but he does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.

19 For the creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal his children,

1 See what kind of love the Father has given us in letting us be called God's children! Yet that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him either.

13 I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

12 However, to all who received him, to those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God's children,

14 I have written to you, little children,because you have known the Father. I have written to you, fathers,because you have known the one whohas existed from the beginning. I have written to you, young people,because you are strongand because God's word remains in youand you have overcome the evil one.

20 Glory belongs to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.

8 "But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’for you have only one teacher, and all of you are brothers.

9 And don't call anyone on earth ‘Father,’ for you have only one Father, the one in heaven.

53 Don't you think that I could call on my Father, and he would send me more than twelve legions of angels now?

32 The one who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for all of us—surely he will give us all things along with him, won't he?

1 See what kind of love the Father has given us in letting us be called God's children! Yet that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him either.

18 No one has ever seen God. The unique God, who is close to the Father's side, has revealed him.

17 Every generous act of giving and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father who made the heavenly lights, in whom there is no inconsistency or shifting shadow.

6 But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

11 "What father among you, if his son asks for bread, would give him a stone, or if he asks for a fish,would give him a snake instead of the fish?

12 Or if he asks for an egg, would he give him a scorpion?

13 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who keep asking him!"

4 Fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

32 Stop being afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

21 The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him."

15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba! Father!"

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

15 Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father's love is not in him.

29 "Two sparrows are sold for a penny, aren't they? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's permission.

30 Indeed, even the hairs on your head have all been counted!

31 So stop beingafraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows."

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.

2 "Honor your father and mother." This is a very important commandment with a promise:

3 "So that it may go well for you, and that you may have a long life on the earth."

4 Fathers, do not make your children angry, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it from the Father's hand.

30 I and the Father are one."

24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

21 Fathers, do not make your children resentful, lest they become discouraged.

48 So be perfect,as your heavenly Father is perfect."

13 I am writing to you, fathers,because you have known the one whohas existed from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people,because you have overcome the evil one.

27 All things have been entrusted to me by my Father. No one fully knows the Son except the Father, and no one fully knows the Father except the Son and the person to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

26 Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't you?

17 But when you fast, put oil onyour head and wash your face,

18 so that your fasting will not be noticed by others but by your Father who sees in secret. And your Father who is in secret will reward you."

23 Jesus answered him,"If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. Then my Father will love him, and we will go to him and make our home within him.
