Colossians 3:21

New King James Version

Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

See the chapter Copy

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,

Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.
