Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them for it. We should submit even more to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?

Then they fell on their faces and said, "God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, will you be angry at the entire congregation on account of one man's sin?"

"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

"Each of you is to fear his mother and father. "Observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

"May the LORD God of the spirits of all living creatures appoint a man over the community

"If a man has a stubborn son who does not obey his parents, and although they try to discipline him, he still refuses to pay attention to them,

""Cursed is the one who treats his father and mother with dishonor.' "Then all the people are to respond by saying, "Amen!'

The eye that mocks a father and looks with a disobedient attitude at a mother the valley ravens will pluck it out; and vultures will eat it.

"My Lord is against them, yet they live, and among all of them who live is his spirit. Now you have restored me to health, so let me live!

and that the life of every living thing rests in his control, along with the breath of every living human being?

then man's dust will go back to the earth, returning to what it was, and the spirit will return to the God who gave it.

This is what God says the God who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its produce, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk in it:

For I won't accuse forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the human spirit would grow faint before me even the souls that I have created.

They've treated mothers and fathers among you with contempt. They've oppressed the foreigner among you. They've maltreated the orphan and the widow among you.

A declaration: a message from the LORD to Israel. "The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who frames the spirit of man within himself, declares,

"A son honors his father and a servant his master. So if I'm a father, where is my honor? And if I'm a master, where is my respect?" says the LORD of the Heavenly Armies to you priests who are despising my name. "But you ask, "How have we despised your name?'

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Therefore, since he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him with an oath to put one of his descendants on his throne,

regarding his Son. He was a descendant of David with respect to his humanity

for I could wish that I myself were condemned and cut off from the Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my own people,

To the Israelis belong the patriarchs, and from them, the Messiah descended, who is God over all, the one who is forever blessed. Amen.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.

Therefore, submit yourselves to God. Resist the Devil, and he will run away from you.

Humble yourselves in the Lord's presence, and he will exalt you.

Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you.
