'Towards' in the Bible

being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;

This is the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;

Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?
