4 And you fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the nature and admonition of the Lord.
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),
3 that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.
11 "What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 "Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
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!"
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is well pleasing in Christians.
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.
21 Fathers, do not harass your children, lest you make them spiritless.
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.
7 It is for discipline that you are enduring these sufferings. God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
