THEN I HEARD HIM SAY, FOR I HAVE CHOSEN HIM, THAT HE MAY COMMAND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD AFTER HIM TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD BY DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE, SO THAT THE LORD MAY BRING TO HIS CHILDREN WHAT HE HAS PROMISED HIM. KNOW TO TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN IN THE WAYS OF GOD, KNOW THAT EVEN WHEN THE CHILD BECOMES OF AGE THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM GOD'S WAYS. KNOW THAT ALL YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE TAUGHT BY GOD, AND GREAT WILL THE PEACE BE WITH YOUR CHILDREN. FATHERS, DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN WITH THE WRONGS WAYS, LEST THEY BECOME DISCOURAGED IN THE WAYS OF GOD. KNOW TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN ALL YOU HAVE SEEN AND LEARNED FROM GOD, KNOW THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL FORGET AND THE LESSONS WILL DEPART FROM YOUR HEART, WHO THEN WILL REMIND YOUR HOUSEHOLD. KNOW TO KEEP THESE WORDS THAT GOD COMMANDS TO BE KEPT IN OUR HEARTS. KNOW TO TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR CHILDREN, TALK OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE, AND WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY, AND WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, AND WHEN YOU RISE. YOU SHALL BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND, AND THEY SHALL BECOME A KEY BY WHICH YOU WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF THE RIGHTEOUS, WRITE THEM ON THE DOOR POSTS OF YOUR HOUSE AND ON YOUR GATES. KNOW THAT AS YOU WISH THAT OTHERS WOULD DO TO YOU, DO ALSO TO THEM, FOR THIS IS THE LAW OF GOD. KNOW TO CONTINUE IN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED AND HAVE FIRMLY BELIEVED, KNOWING FROM WHOM YOU LEARNED IT AND HOW FROM CHILDHOOD YOU HAVE BEEN ACQUAINTED WITH THE SACRED WRITINGS, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN ALL THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST JESUS.
