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

A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.

Don’t fail to correct your children. They won’t die if you spank them. Physical discipline may well save them from death.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

In the same way, teach older women to be holy in their behavior, not speaking against others or enslaved to too much wine, but teaching what is good. Then they can teach the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be wise and pure, to be good workers at home, to be kind, and to yield to their husbands. Then no one will be able to criticize the teaching God gave us.

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
