Role of Parents

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.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.

These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.

And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the firstborn son, …

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

See, I am ready to come to you a third time, and I will not be a burden, because I am not seeking your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. …

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

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
