4 And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition gentle correction, counsel of the Lord.
11 'And of which of you -- the father -- if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?
12 and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a scorpion?
13 If, then, you, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!'
20 the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;
7 if chastening you endure, as to sons God bears Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father does not chasten?
1 The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;
2 honour your father and mother,
3 which is the first command with a promise, 'That it may be well with you, and you may live a long time upon the land.'
4 and if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
21 the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.
8 and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- does not provide, the faith he has denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
