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.

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

²⁶ He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.

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

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

²² Give ear to your father whose child you are, and do not keep honour from your mother when she is old.

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

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.

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

¹⁵ The rod and sharp words give wisdom: but a child who is not guided is a cause of shame to his mother.

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.

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.

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

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.

²⁴ He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.

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

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?

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.

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