And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’ ” So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
