⁶ Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.

¹³ As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

² In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

³⁶ Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.

⁶ For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.

⁷ It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

⁸ But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

⁹ And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

¹⁰ For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

¹¹ At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

¹⁹ For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

¹¹ My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:

¹² For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.

¹³ Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.

¹ See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.

¹³ And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.

¹² To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

¹⁴ I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

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

²⁰ Now to God our Father be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

⁸ But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.

⁹ And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.

¹⁰ And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.

⁵³ Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?

⁸ Be not very angry, O Lord, and do not keep our sins in mind for ever: give ear to our prayer, for we are all your people.

³² He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

⁵ A father to those who have no father, a judge of the widows, is God in his holy place.

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.

¹⁸ No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

¹⁷ Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

⁶ But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

¹¹ And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?

¹² Or for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

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?

¹⁴ And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.

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

¹³ As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.

¹⁴ For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

⁵ A foolish man puts no value on his father's training; but he who has respect for teaching has good sense.

³² Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

²¹ He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.

¹⁵ For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

¹⁶ The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:

¹⁷ And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

¹⁵ Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶ For you are our father, though Abraham has no knowledge of us, and Israel gives no thought to us: you, O Lord, are our father; from the earliest days you have taken up our cause.

²⁹ Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

³⁰ But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

³¹ Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

³² To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.

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.

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

⁵ Servants, do what is ordered by those who are your natural masters, having respect and fear for them, with all your heart, as to Christ;

²⁸ And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

²⁹ That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

³⁰ I and my Father are one.

³¹ Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.

¹⁹ The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.

²⁴ Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

²⁰ Children, do the orders of your fathers and mothers in all things, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

²¹ Fathers, do not be hard on your children, so that their spirit may not be broken.

²² Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

⁴⁸ Be then complete in righteousness, even as your Father in heaven is complete.

¹³ I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.

²⁷ All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

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.

²⁶ See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

¹⁷ But when you go without food, put oil on your head and make your face clean;

¹⁸ So that no one may see that you are going without food, but your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

¹⁹ Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

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

²⁰ If anyone puts a curse on his father or his mother, his light will be put out in the blackest night.

²³ Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.
