And now, ye sons, hear to me, and attend to the sayings of my mouth.
And now, ye sons, hear to me, and ye shall not depart from the words of my mouth.
Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
My little children, I write these to you, that ye sin not. And if any sin, we have an intercessor with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
My children, for whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you,
Who the man desiring life, loving days, to see good?
A wise son the instruction of a father: and he. mocking heard not reproof.
