⁶ Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

¹³ As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

² in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

³⁶ be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful.

⁶ For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

⁷ if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?

⁸ and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

⁹ Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising `us', and we were reverencing `them'; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?

¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

¹¹ and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.

¹⁹ for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

¹¹ Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not vexed with His reproof,

¹² For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the son He is pleased with.

¹³ O the happiness of a man `who' hath found wisdom, And of a man `who' bringeth forth understanding.

¹ See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

¹³ and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

¹² but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,

¹⁴ I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who `is' from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil.

²⁴ The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him.

²⁰ and to God, even our Father, `is' the glory -- to the ages of the ages. Amen.

⁸ `And ye -- ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your director -- the Christ, and all ye are brethren;

⁹ and ye may not call `any' your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens,

¹⁰ nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director -- the Christ.

⁵³ dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

⁸ And now, O Jehovah, thou `art' our Father, We `are' the clay, and Thou our Framer, And the work of Thy hand -- all of us.

³² He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

⁵ Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, `Is' God in His holy habitation.

⁸ Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,

⁹ For a graceful wreath `are' they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

¹⁸ God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

⁶ `But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who `is' in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

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, ye, 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!'

¹⁴ And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,

⁴ And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.

¹³ As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

¹⁴ For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we `are' dust.

¹⁵ Mortal man! as grass `are' his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

⁵ A fool despiseth the instruction of his father, And whoso is regarding reproof is prudent.

³² `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.'

¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba -- Father.'

¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ -- if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

¹⁵ Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

¹⁶ For Thou `art' our Father, For Abraham hath not known us, And Israel doth not acknowledge us, Thou, O Jehovah, `art' our Father, Our redeemer from the age, `is' Thy name.

²⁹ `Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;

³⁰ and of you -- even the hairs of the head are all numbered;

³¹ be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.

³² `Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;

¹ The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous;

² honour thy father and mother,

³ which is the first command with a promise, `That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.'

⁴ And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord.

⁵ The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ;

²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

³⁰ I and the Father are one.'

³¹ Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

¹⁹ The living, the living, he doth confess Thee.

²⁴ `Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

²⁰ the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;

²¹ the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged.

²² The servants! obey in all things those who are masters according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God;

⁴⁸ ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who `is' in the heavens is perfect.

¹³ I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who `is' from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:

²⁷ `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal `Him'.

³ Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah `are' sons, A reward `is' the fruit of the womb.

⁴ As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So `are' the sons of the young men.

⁵ O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!

²⁶ look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?

¹⁷ `But thou, fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,

¹⁸ that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who `is' in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

¹⁹ `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,

⁶ Sons' sons `are' the crown of old men, And the glory of sons `are' their fathers.

²⁰ Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;
