                                                  |  Like as a father pitieth his children, the 
                                              LORD pitieth them that fear him. (Psalm 103:13)

                                               Whoever spares the rod hates his 
                                              son, but he who loves him is 
                                              diligent to discipline him. (Proverbs 13:24)

                                              should go; even when he is old he 
                                              will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

                                               And call no man your father on 
                                              earth, for you have one Father, 
                                              who is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9)

                                               Fathers, do not provoke your 
                                              children to anger, but bring them 
                                              up in the discipline and 
                                              instruction of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4)
                                          
                                              
                                              ESV
  Fathers, do not provoke your 
                                              children, lest they become 
                                              discouraged. (Colossians 3:21)
                                          
                                              
                                              ESV
  For you know how, like a father 
                                              with his children, (1 Thessalonians 2:11)
                                          
                                              
                                              ESV
  Do not rebuke an older man but 
                                              encourage him as you would a 
                                              father, younger men as brothers, 
                                              older women as mothers, younger 
                                              women as sisters, in all purity. 
                                              Honor widows who are truly widows. 
                                              But if a widow has children or 
                                              grandchildren, let them first 
                                              learn to show godliness to their 
                                              own household and to make some 
                                              return to their parents, for this 
                                              is pleasing in the sight of God. 
                                              She who is truly a widow, left all 
                                              alone, has set her hope on God and 
                                              continues in supplications and 
                                              prayers night and day, ... (1 Timothy 5:1-25)
                                          
                                              
                                              ESV
  But if anyone does not provide for 
                                              his relatives, and especially for 
                                              members of his household, he has 
                                              denied the faith and is worse than 
                                              an unbeliever. (1 Timothy 5:8)
                                          
                                              
                                              ESV1
