of Parents

Family, Children, Responsibilities toward:

Deut 32:46-47
    And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
    For it is not a vain thing for you: because it is your life...

2 Nephi 4:5-6
    But behold, my sons and my daughters, I cannot go down to my grave save I should leave a blessing upon you; for behold, I know that if ye are brought up in the way ye should go ye will not depart from it.
    Wherefore, if ye are cursed, behold, I leave my blessing upon you, that the cursing may be taken from you and be answered upon the heads of your parents.

Colossians 3:20-21
    Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
    Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

DC 93:36-50
    The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.
    Light and truth forsake that evil one.
    Every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God.
    And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers.
    But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth.
    But verily I say unto you, my servant Frederick G. Williams, you have continued under this condemnation;
    You have not taught your children light and truth, according to the commandments; and that wicked one hath power, as yet, over you, and this is the cause of your affliction.
    And now a commandment I give unto you – if you will be delivered you shall set in order your own house, for there are many things that are not right in your house.
    Verily, I say unto my servant Sidney Rigdon, that in some things he hath not kept the commandments concerning his children; therefore, first set in order thy house.
    Verily, I say unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., or in other words, I will call you friends, for you are my friends, and ye shall have an inheritance with me–
    I called you servants for the world's sake, and ye are their servants for my sake –
    And now, verily I say unto Joseph Smith, Jun. – You have not kept the commandments, and must needs stand rebuked before the Lord;
    Your family must needs repent and forsake some things, and give more earnest heed unto your sayings, or be removed out of their place.
    What I say unto one I say unto all; pray always lest that wicked one have power in you, and remove you out of your place.
    My servant Newel K. Whitney also, a bishop of my church, hath need to be chastened, and set in order his family, and see that they are more diligent and concerned at home, and pray always, or they shall be removed out of their place.


Family, Children, Duties of:
Exodus 20:12
    Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Proverbs 6:20-23
    My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother;
     Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
    When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
    For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.

Luke 2:51-52
    And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
    And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

Ephesians 6:1-4
    Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
    Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
    That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
    And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

1 Samuel 3:13
    For I have told him (Eli) that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
