13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.
10 For indeed when I was with you, I used to charge you, "If any man will not work, he shall not eat."
19 Husbands, be loving to your wives, and be not cross or surly with them.
7 In the same way you husbands live with your wives, according to knowledge, honoring your wife as of the weaker sex, yet as an heir with yourself of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.
18 Do not be drunk with wine, in which is riotous living, but drink deep in the Spirit,
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.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her,
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.
4 And you fathers, do not irritate your children, but bring them up in the nature and admonition of the Lord.
2 The minister should be a man of blameless character; he should be husband of but one wife; he should live a sober, self-restrained, orderly life; he should be hospitable, skilled in teaching;
3 no drinker or brawler; but forbearing, peaceable, and no money- lover;
4 he should be a man who rules his own household well, and keeps his children ever under control and thoroughly well behaved.
