Context
1. Paul on Spirit-filled relationships
2. Husbands-Wives; Children-Fathers;

Although Paul addresses fathers specifically,
mothers are expected to participate fully
(Deuteronomy 6:7; Proverbs 1:8) and to take
up the slack in a father’s absence (2
Timothy 3:15; Titus 2:4).

be for worship (see Joseph, the father of Jesus).
