4 Also, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; but bring them up in the correction and instruction of the Lord.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is just.
2 Honor your father and mother, (which is the first commandment with a promise,)
3 that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
11 What father amongst you, would give his son a stone when he asks bread; or, when he asks a fish, would, instead of a fish, give him a serpent;
12 or, when he asks an egg, would give him a scorpion?
13 If you, therefore, bad as you are, can give good things to your children; how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him!
21 Fathers, do not exasperate your children, lest they be discouraged.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
7 If you endure chastisement, God deals with you as his children. For what son is there whom his father does not chastise?
8 For if any one provide not for his own, and especially those of his own family, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
4 but if any widow have children, or grandchildren, let these learn first piously to take care of their own family, and then to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
