Listen, children, to a father’s instruction, and pay attention so that you may gain discernment.

If anyone hears my words and does not obey them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.The one who rejects me and does not accept my words has a judge; the word I have spoken will judge him at the last day.

These words I am commanding you today must be kept in mind,and you must teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house, as you walk along the road, as you lie down, and as you get up.You should tie them as a reminder on your forearm and fasten them as symbols on your forehead.Inscribe them on the doorframes of your houses and gates.

Bind them on your heart continually; fasten them around your neck.

I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.

My child, pay attention to my words; listen attentively to my sayings.Do not let them depart from your sight, guard them within your heart;for they are life to those who find them and healing to one’s entire body.

This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:“ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”– and I am the worst of them!
