Loving Your Child

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

My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

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

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

have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

But Jesus said, `Suffer the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;'
