Loving your Children

Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. …

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

A rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
