long life on the earth.”

Fathers, do not exasperate 
your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

exasperate – frustrate someone intensely, to provoke them, 
to push their buttons

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

God’s love passing from generation to generation, 
the love of the father passed to the children, just as the love of God passed to us through Jesus Christ.
