As for you fathers, do not exasperate your children, but bring them up in the discipline and on the admonitions of the Lord.
Fathers, avoid irritating your children, in case they get dispirited.
remember you have known from childhood the sacred writings that can impart saving wisdom by faith in Christ Jesus.
for I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, as it dwells (I feel sure) in yourself.
that it may be well with you and that you may live long on earth.
