1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they will become discouraged.
4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice their religion in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
