Fathers, do not provoke your children, or they may lose heart.
And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
for the Lord reproves the one he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.
As a father has compassion for his children, so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.
As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children,
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not with a slavery performed merely for looks, to please people, but wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.
