Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend that you may know prudence.
My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you.
They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, beareth not when he is reproved.
