4 And you fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the nature and admonition of the Lord.
4 And you fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the nature and admonition of the Lord.
32 and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.
10 Now I beg you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to speak in accord, all of you, and to have no divisions among you, but to be knit together in a common mind and temper.
4 but if any widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn to show their piety first toward their own household, and to make some return to their parents, for that is pleasing in Gods sight.
19 "Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
1 It came about after Jesus had finished these teachings, that he removed from Galilee, and went to that part of Judea which lay across the Jordan.
2 A great multitude followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"
4 "Have you not read." he answered, "that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said,
5 "For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall be one flesh?
6 "Thus they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
7 They answered, "Why then did Moses command the husband to give her a written bill of divorce, and so to put her away?"
8 "Moses," said Jesus, "permitted you to divorce your wives on account of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 "And I tell you that any man who divorces his wife for any cause except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
10 "If that is the position of a man in relation to his wife," answered the disciples, "it is better not to marry."
11 He answered them. "Not all are accepting this teaching, but only those to whom it has been granted.
12 "For there are eunuchs who have been such from birth; others who have been made such by men; and others who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of God. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
13 Then young children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples interfered, but Jesus said to them.
14 "Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs."
15 So he laid his hands upon them, and departed from that place.
16 But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
17 "Why do you ask me about what is good?" asked Jesus. "There is but One who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18 "Which commandments?" asked the man. Jesus replied. "Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;
19 "Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
20 The young man answered. "I have carefully kept them all. What yet do I lack?"
21 "If you want to be perfect," said Jesus, "go, sell your property, give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
22 But when the young man heard this teaching, he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had much property.
23 So Jesus said to his disciples. "In solemn truth I tell you that a rich man will find it difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 "I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
25 When they heard this the disciples were utterly astounded. "Who then can be saved?" they exclaimed. Jesus looked at them.
26 "With men this is impossible," he said, "but with God all things are possible."
27 Whereupon Peter said to Jesus. "Look, Master, we have forsaken everything and followed you. Now what shall be our reward?"
28 "In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus answered, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 "And every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake, shall many times as much, and fall heir to eternal life.
30 "But many who are first shall be last, and many who are last shall be first.
20 If any one says, "I love God," and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot possibly love God, whom he has not seen.
2 We are Gods children now, beloved; what we shall be has never yet been made manifest. But we know that when he is manifested we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
3 And every one who is holding this hope in him is purifying himself, even as he is pure.
13 "If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
8 But if any one fails to provide for his own, and especially for his kindred, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.

31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus," they answered, "and you will be saved, you and all your household."
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.
2 Honor your father and mother (this is the first commandment with a promise attached),
33 But as for you individually, you must each one of you love his own wife exactly as if she were yourself; and the wife, on her part, should reverence her husband.
6 but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 "For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh;
8 so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
