Parents and Children
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit
of the womb is his reward. Psalms 127:3
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
Proverbs 13:24
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. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Proverbs 4:1-6
Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7
A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. Proverbs 15:5
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:1-4
For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? 1st Timothy 3:5
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 1st Timothy, 5:8
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not
the law of thy mother: Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy
neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and
when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. Proverbs 6:20-22
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

glory of children are their fathers. Proverbs 17:6

and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy
the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
