1Tim.2 [9] In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; [10] But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1Sam.2 [12] Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
[27] And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?[28] And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?[29] Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?[30] Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.[31] Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.[32] And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.[33] And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine
1Sam.3 .[10] And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel.
Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
[11] And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of
every one that heareth it shall tingle.
[12] In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house:
when I begin, I will also make an end.
[13] For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity
which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained
them not.[14] And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house
shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.[15] And Samuel lay until the morning, and
opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.[16] Then
Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.[17] And he said, What
is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to
thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.[18]
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him
do what seemeth him good.[19] And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none
of his words fall to the ground.[20] And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel
was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
[21] And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh
by the word of the LORD.
1Sam.8:[1] And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
[2] Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges
in Beer-sheba.
[3] And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and
perverted judgment.
Exod.20 - commandment 5
[1] And God spake all these words, saying,[2] I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee
out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven
image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that
is in the water under the earth:[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I
the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of
them that love me, and keep my commandments.[7] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD
thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
[8] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work:[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:[11] For in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.[12] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days
may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.[13] Thou shalt not kill.[14]
Thou shalt not commit adultery.[15] Thou shalt not steal.[16] Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbour.
[17] Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Exod.34:[10] And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels,
such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which
thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
[11] Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the
Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the
Jebusite.[12] Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land
whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:[13] But ye shall destroy their altars,
break their images, and cut down their groves:[14] For thou shalt worship no other god: for the
LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:[15] Lest thou make a covenant with the
inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods , and do sacrifice unto their gods,
and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;[16] And thou take of their daughters unto thy
sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring
after their gods.
Deut.5: [16] Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee;
that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee.
Deut.6:[1] Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD
your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess
it:[2] That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments,
which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy
days may be prolonged.[3] Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with
thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in
the land that floweth with milk and honey.[4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one
LORD:[5] And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy might.
[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:[7] And thou shalt
teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest
up.[8] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between
thine eyes.[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.[10] And it
shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy
fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou
buildedst not,[11] And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged,
which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt
have eaten and be full;[12] Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out
of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.[13] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and
serve him, and shalt swear by his name.[14] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the
people which are round about you;[15] (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest
the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the
earth.[16] Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.[17] Ye shall
diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes,
which he hath commanded thee.[18] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of
the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land
which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,[19] To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as
the LORD hath spoken.[20] And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean
the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded
you?[21] Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD
brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:[22] And the LORD shewed signs and wonders,
great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:[23] And
he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto
our fathers.[24] And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our
God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.[25] And it shall be
our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he
hath commanded us.
Deut.11 [19] And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in
thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Exod.10[2] And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
Exod.12 [24] And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
Exod.13 [8] And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
[14] And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
Eph.6 [1] Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.[2] Honour thy father
and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
[3] That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.[4] And, ye fathers,
provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord.
Col.3[20] Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. [21] Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Prov.22[6] Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
[15] Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Prov.23[13] Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
[24] The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
Prov.29 [15] The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
[21] He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
