⁶ Children's children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.

¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;

¹⁸ If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.

¹⁹ The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.

⁸ My son, give ear to the training of your father, and do not give up the teaching of your mother:

⁹ For they will be a crown of grace for your head, and chain-ornaments about your neck.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

⁹ Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do under the sun.

²⁷ Put your work in order outside, and make it ready in the field; and after that, see to the building of your house.

¹⁷ A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.

⁴ And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.

⁶ If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.

¹⁹ Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

²⁴ There are friends who may be a man's destruction, but there is a lover who keeps nearer than a brother.

¹ A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

¹⁰ Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

³² And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.

⁴ But if any widow has children or children's children, let these see that it is right to take care of their family and their fathers and mothers: for this is pleasing in the eyes of God.

¹⁰ Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.

²⁰ If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?

²⁷ He whose desires are fixed on profit is a cause of trouble to his family; but he who has no desire for offerings will have life.

²⁰ My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:

² My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is.

³ And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.

⁴ Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.

¹³ If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

⁸ If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

¹⁵ My son, if your heart becomes wise, I, even I, will be glad in heart;

³¹ And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

³ See, sons are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the body is his reward.

⁴ Like arrows in the hand of a man of war, are the children of the young.

⁵ Happy is the man who has a good store of them; he will not be put to shame, but his cause will be supported by them against his haters.

⁵⁷ Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;

²⁹ The troubler of his house will have the wind for his heritage, and the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted.

¹ Children, do what is ordered by your fathers and mothers in the Lord: for this is right.

² Give honour to your father and mother (which is the first rule having a reward),

³ So that all may be well for you, and your life may be long on the earth.

²⁴ The father of the upright man will be glad, and he who has a wise child will have joy because of him.

¹⁵ Will a woman give up the child at her breast, will she be without pity for the fruit of her body? yes, these may, but I will not let you go out of my memory.

¹⁶ See, your name is marked on my hands; your walls are ever before me.

¹⁷ Your builders are coming quickly; your haters and those who made you waste will go out of you.

¹ <A Song of the going up. Of David.> See how good and how pleasing it is for brothers to be living together in harmony!

³³ But do you, everyone, have love for his wife, even as for himself; and let the wife see that she has respect for her husband.

⁶ But from the first, male and female made he them.

⁷ For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;

⁸ And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

⁹ Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

¹⁰ And in the house the disciples put questions to him again about this thing.
