So now, children, listen to me, be attentive to the words of my mouth!
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you fear of the Lord.
A wise son loves correction, but the scoffer heeds no rebuke.
Hear, O children, a father’s instruction, be attentive, that you may gain understanding!
So now, children, listen to me, do not stray from the words of my mouth.
My children, for whom I am again in labor until Christ be formed in you!
My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
