13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
24 The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.
53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and "is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
21 Whoever has my commands 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 them and show myself to them."
16 But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all "; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one."
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, "do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
27 "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,
18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
23 Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
2 My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
8 If you are not disciplined —and everyone undergoes discipline —then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.
9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!
10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. [2]
1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God —
14 I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
8 "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
8 Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all —how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
9 They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.
1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for "a fish, will give him a snake instead?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
4 Fathers, "do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
5 A fool spurns a parent's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.
15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. "And by him we cry, "Father."
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. [2]
30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
19 The living, the living —they praise you, as I am doing today; parents tell their children about your faithfulness.
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. [2]
3 Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 "Honor your father and mother" —which is the first commandment with a promise —
3 "so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." [1]
4 Fathers, "do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father "is not in them.
16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.
6 Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one.
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
20 If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.
