And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.For I was my father’s son, tender and only[ beloved] in the sight of my mother.He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son[ in whom] he delighteth.

Like as a father pitieth[ his] children,[ so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father[ doth] his children,

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected[ us], and we gave[ them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?For they verily for a few days chastened[ us] after their own pleasure; but he for[ our] profit, that[ we] might be partakers of his holiness.Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
