If any man have ears to hear, let him hear!
Mark 4:23

Eph 5:23-33
For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Husbands, love your wives,
even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot,
or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.
He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh;
but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself;

Col 3:19
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

I Pt 3:7-16
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge,
giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel,
and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

I Cor 11:2-16
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ;
and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonoureth his head.
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,
forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God:
but the woman is the glory of the man.
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman;
but all things of God.

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that,
if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
But if any man seem to be contentious,
we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

I Cor 7:1-5
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me:
It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife,
and let every woman have her own husband.
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence:
and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband:
and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time,
that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer;
and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

Mark 3:27
No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

II Tim 2:20-26
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver,
but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour,
sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Flee also youthful lusts:
but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace,
with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.

I Tim 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house,
he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Prov:19:14
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

I Jn 2:13,14
I write unto you, fathers,
because ye have known him that is from the beginning.
I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one.

I have written unto you, fathers,
because ye have known him that is from the beginning.
I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong,
and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Deut 6:6-12
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,
and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house,
and when thou walkest by the way,
and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Ps 127:3
 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Eph 6:4-8
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath:
but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Col 3:21
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

Prov 13:24
 He that spareth his rod hateth his son:
but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Prov 19:18
Chasten thy son while there is hope,
and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

Prov 23:13,14
Withhold not correction from the child:
for if thou beatest him with the rod,
he shall not die.
Thou shalt beat him with the rod,
and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Prov 22:15
 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child;
but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Prov 29:15,17
The rod and reproof give wisdom:
but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest;
yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

Prov:17:6
Children's children are the crown of old men;
and the glory of children are their fathers.

I Tim 2:1-4
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority;
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Deut 6:10-12
And it shall be,
when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land
which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not,
and wells digged, which thou diggedst not,
vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not;
when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
Then beware lest thou forget the LORD,
which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Col 3:23-25
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
for ye serve the Lord Christ.
But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done:
and there is no respect of persons.

Titus 2:1-2
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

Job 12:12
 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

Titus 2:6-15
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:
in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned;
that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed,
having no evil thing to say of you.

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters,
and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity;
that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh,
with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers;
but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth,
the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Let no man despise thee.

I Pt 5:5-9
...all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility:
for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.

I Pt 3:8-16
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another,
love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing;
knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

For he that will love life, and see good days,
let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their prayers:
but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye:
and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you
a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers,
they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Matt 24:42-46
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this,
that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Who then is a faithful and wise servant,
whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Eph 6:10-13
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all,
to stand.

If you did not like that sermon?
take it up with God Himself.
He wrote all of it!
