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 go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Genesis 33
5 And when Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, “Who are these with you?” Jacob said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
Psalm 127
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.
