Psalm 127:3-5: Behold, children are a gift of the Lord; The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They shall not be ashamed, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
The keynote for 5:22-6:9 is Ephesians 5:21: . . . and being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
Next on the agenda is how parents are to arrange themselves so as to serve their children for the glory of God.
Ephesians 6:4: Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
