Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected {us}, and we gave {them} reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

A son honoureth {his} father, and a servant his master: if then I {be} a father, where {is} mine honour? and if I {be} a master, where {is} my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet {have ye} not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat {him} as a father; {and} the younger men as brethren;

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence {which I make} now unto you.

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite {them}? shall I smite {them}?

Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, {if} the prophet had bid thee {do some} great thing, wouldest thou not have done {it}? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
