They should bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, and not spoil them. Children should be taught to be submissive and respectful. 

They must not be provoked to anger, so that they are discouraged (cf. Ephesians 6:4; I Timothy 3:4; Colossians 3:21).

“Honor your father and mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth. This is the first commandment with a promise” (Ephesians 6:3). 

You must not only respect and support your parents (cf. Mark 7:8-13), but you must honor and reverence them (cf. Proverbs 23:22), and seek to make them happy (Proverbs 23:24-25).

The Bible teaches us that in our dealings with our brothers, our neighbors, and others, we must not repay evil with evil. 

In our dealings with each other and with other people, we must follow what is good (cf. I Thessalonians 5:15). 

We must be tenderhearted and forgiving toward one another (cf. Ephesians 4:31-32). 

If we do not forgive the wrongs others have done, our heavenly Father will not forgive the wrongs we have done (cf. Mark 11:26). 

Those who forgive others will receive forgiveness (cf. Luke 6:37). 

As the Lord has forgiven us, so must we forgive others (cf. Colossians 3:13).

We must forgive, not just seven times, but seventy times seven (cf. Matthew 18:21-22).

The Lord Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7). 

God desires mercy, and not sacrifice (cf. Matthew 12:7). 

We are not to close up our hearts (cf. I John 3:17).

 When Jesus was here on earth He had compassion on the deprived and destitute people of His day. 

The Jewish people were like sheep without a shepherd (cf. Matthew 9:36). 

We should be “full of mercy and good fruits” towards others (cf. James 3:17).

When Paul preached the Gospel among the Gentiles, he worked with his own hand to supply his own needs and those of his companions. 

He also urged the Ephesian elders “that by so toiling one must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus. He expressed it in these words, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’ ” (cf. Acts 20:35). 

Jesus taught His disciples to give someone something to eat when he was hungry, something to drink when he was thirsty, something to wear when he was cold, looking after him when he was ill, and visiting him, that if these things were done to one of the least of his brothers, they would be done to the Lord Himself (cf. Matthew 25:31-46).

We must also accept the constraint of “love’, for all things are lawful, but not all things build people up (I Corinthians 10:23).

The example which the Apostle Paul left us was of being the servant of all, pleasing all men in all things, not seeking his own advantage, but the advantage of all (cf. I Corinthians 10:33).

Freedom in Christ denotes no longer being a slave to sin, but gaining freedom through knowing the truth (cf. John 8:32-36).

It refers also to being no longer obliged to keep such Jewish regulations as circumcision, and no longer being entangled in that kind of “yoke of bondage” (cf. Galatians 5:1). 

Freedom in Christ must on no account be seen as an opportunity for indulging in lust (cf. Galatians 5:13). 

So, freedom in Christ means accepting bondage to “righteousness” and offering one’s self as a servant of righteousness, no longer as a servant of sin (cf. Romans 6:15-18). 

The Bible says that although we are free, we may not use our freedom as a pretext for wickedness (cf. I Peter 2:16).

The Christian should obey and respect those who reward good and punish evil, and who exercise authority in accordance with justice, and he should do so, not from fear, but for conscience’ sake (cf. Romans 13:1-5).

He should respect any system that rewards the good and punishes the evil. 

He should not take part in any activities that are not in accordance with the rules and laws of the nation. 

He should not be involved in illegal activities (cf. I Peter 2:13-15; II Thessalonians 3:6-7). 

His behavior should be in accordance with standards that distinguish right from wrong. 

He should prove all things and hold fast that which is good, abstaining from every form of evil (cf. I Thessalonians 5:21-22).

Yes. The prophets and psalmists of the Old Testament had a deep affection for their country and its people. This was always so, whether in times when they were suffering from oppression or devastation at the hand of foreign aggressors (cf. Hebrews 11:23-26; Jeremiah 9:1; Lamentations 2:11-12, 18-19; Psalm 137), or when the people were prosperous (cf. Psalm 126). 

When Jesus was here on earth, He had a deep affection for His people and His nation. When He foresaw Jerusalem, the symbol of his own nation, being trampled underfoot and destroyed by the Roman Empire, He wept for it (cf. Luke 19:41-44). 

The Apostle Paul was always thinking of his “brethren”, his “kinsmen according to the flesh” (Romans 9:3, 11:14). 

As Chinese citizens, we too should have a deep love for our country and its people. The Bible says, “If anyone does not make provision for his relatives, he has denied the faith” (I Timothy 5:8). How much more should this apply to one’s own kin, one’s people and one’s nation?

The person who loves God will certainly keep His commandments, as the Bible says, “ This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments” (I John 5:3). 

God’s commandment is that we should love our neighbor as ourselves. Therefore, anyone who truly loves God must love his neighbor as he loves himself. 

The Bible says, “We have this commandment from God he who loves God must love his brother also”; If anyone says, “ ‘I love God’, and hates his brother, he is a liar for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen” (I John 4:19-21). And that is not all, for “To love of the brethren add love of all” (II Peter 1:7).

Therefore, do all you can to live peaceably with all men (cf. Romans 12:18; Hebrews 12:14); in dealing with others, base your actions on love, as Christ loved us, and gave Himself for us (cf. Ephesians 5:2). “I owe no one anything, except to love one another” (Romans 13:8).
