And now listen to me, sons, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Who is the man that desires life, and loves days, that he may see good?
A wise son heeds his father's instruction, but a scorner does not hear rebuke.
Sons, hear the instruction of a father, and listen in order to know understanding.
And now hear me, O sons, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
My children, for whom I again travail until Christ should be formed in you,
My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
