I have chosen him. He must direct his children to live in the way that pleases me. And he must direct the members of his family after him to do the same. So he must guide all of them in doing what is right and fair. Then I, the Lord, will do for Abraham what I have promised him.”

Don’t be careless. Instead, be very careful. Don’t forget the things your eyes have seen. As long as you live, don’t let them slip from your mind. Teach them to your children and their children after them.Remember the day you stood at Mount Horeb. The Lord your God was there. He said to me,“ Bring the people to me to hear my words. I want them to learn to have respect for me as long as they live in the land. I want them to teach my words to their children.”

He must manage his own family well. He must make sure that his children obey him. And he must do this in a way that gains him respect.Suppose someone doesn’t know how to manage his own family. Then how can he take care of God’s church?

Fathers, don’t make your children angry. Instead, instruct them and teach them the ways of the Lord as you raise them.

But suppose you don’t want to serve him. Then choose for yourselves right now whom you will serve. You can choose the gods your people served east of the Euphrates River. Or you can serve the gods of the Amorites. After all, you are living in their land. But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

Then he said to them,“ Think carefully about all the words I have announced to you today. I want you to command your children to be careful to obey all the words of this law.

The commandments I give you today must be in your hearts.Make sure your children learn them. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up.

Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up.Write them on the doorframes of your houses. Also write them on your gates.Then you and your children will live for a long time in the land. The Lord promised to give the land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Your family line will continue as long as the heavens remain above the earth.

“ My son Solomon, always remember the God of your father. Serve him with all your heart. Do it with a mind that wants to obey him. The Lord looks deep down inside every heart. He understands every desire and every thought. If you look to him, you will find him. But if you desert him, he will turn his back on you forever.

The Lord looks with favor on those who are godly. His ears are open to their cry.

Start children off on the right path. And even when they are old, they will not turn away from it.

My son, keep your father’s command. Don’t turn away from your mother’s teaching.Always tie them on your heart. Put them around your neck.When you walk, they will guide you. When you sleep, they will watch over you. When you wake up, they will speak to you.

You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.

The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord is on his throne in heaven. He watches everyone on earth. His eyes study them.

A deacon must be faithful to his wife. He must manage his children and family well.

I will open my mouth and tell a story. I will speak about things that were hidden. They happened a long time ago.We have heard about them and we know them. Our people who lived before us have told us about them.We won’t hide them from our children. We will tell them to those who live after us. We will tell them what the Lord has done that is worthy of praise. We will talk about his power and the wonderful things he has done.He gave laws to the people of Jacob. He gave Israel their law. He commanded our people who lived before us to teach his laws to their children.Then those born later would know his laws. Even their children yet to come would know them. And they in turn would tell their children.Then they would put their trust in God. They would not forget what he had done. They would obey his commands.They would not be like their people who lived long ago. Those people were stubborn. They refused to obey God. They turned away from him. Their spirits were not faithful to him.The soldiers of Ephraim were armed with bows. But they ran away on the day of battle.

The time for enjoying good food would end. Then Job would make plans for his children to be made pure and“ clean.” He would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them. He would do it early in the morning. He would think,“ Perhaps my children have sinned. Maybe they have spoken evil things against God in their hearts.” That’s what Job always did for his children when he felt they had sinned.

I belong to God and serve him. Last night his angel stood beside me.The angel said,‘ Do not be afraid, Paul. You must go on trial in front of Caesar. God has shown his grace by sparing the lives of all those sailing with you.’

“ I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.

I remember your honest and true faith. It was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice. And I am certain that it is now alive in you also.

“ Out of all the families on earth I have chosen only you. So I will punish you because you have committed so many sins.”

Jesus spoke to him a third time. He asked,“ Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt bad because Jesus asked him the third time,“ Do you love me?” He answered,“ Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you.” Jesus said,“ Feed my sheep.

It is those who are alive who praise you. And that’s what I’m doing today. Parents tell their children about how faithful you are.

The Lord watches over the lives of godly people. But the lives of sinful people will lead to their death.

“ What more can I say to you? Lord and King, you know all about me.

“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He announced,‘ I promised that members of your family line would serve me as priests forever.’ But now the Lord announces,‘ I will not let that happen! I will honor those who honor me. But I will turn away from those who look down on me.The time is coming when I will cut your life short. I will also cut short the lives of those in your family line of priests. No one in your family line will grow old.

But God’s solid foundation stands firm. Here is the message written on it.“ The Lord knows who his own people are.”( Numbers 16:5) Also,“ All who say they believe in the Lord must turn away from evil.”

But Paul spoke to the commander and the soldiers.“ These men must stay with the ship,” he said.“ If they don’t, you can’t be saved.”

On that same day Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael. He also circumcised every male who was born into his family or bought with his money. He did exactly as God had told him.Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised.His son Ishmael was 13.Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that same day.And every male in Abraham’s household was circumcised along with him. That included those born into his family or bought from a stranger.
