1 See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba! Father!"16 it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God;

3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

13 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

13 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.14 As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him.

5 Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds; his name is the LORD, exult before him!

8 Yet, O LORD, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou art our potter; we are all the work of thy hand.

16 For thou art our Father, though Abraham does not know us and Israel does not acknowledge us; thou, O LORD, art our Father, our Redeemer from of old is thy name.

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will.30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,18 that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

32 "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

17 Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.

2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

13 Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

21 He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

23 Jesus answered him, "If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

18 No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.

28 and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.30 I and the Father are one."

24 Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.

27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

48 You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren.9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.

53 Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?

36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?10 For they disciplined us for a short time at their pleasure, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.

11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof,12 for the LORD reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.2 "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise),3 "that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth."4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

8 Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and reject not your mother's teaching;9 for they are a fair garland for your head, and pendants for your neck.

24 The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who begets a wise son will be glad in him.

5 A fool despises his father's instruction, but he who heeds admonition is prudent.

6 Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of sons is their fathers.

20 If one curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.

20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

3 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.4 Lo, sons are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.5 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons of one's youth. [ (Psalms 127:6) Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. ]

19 The living, the living, he thanks thee, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children thy faithfulness.

16 "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God;

13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father.

14 I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.
