Responsibilities of Parents and Children

Responsibilities of Parents:
  • Proverbs 22:6 - "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
  • Ephesians 6:4 - "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
  • Mosiah 4:14-15 - "And ye will not suffer your children that they go hungry, or naked; neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of God, and fight and quarrel one with another, and serve the devil, who is the master of sin, or who is the evil spirit which hath been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all righteousness. But ye will teach them to walk in the ways of truth and soberness; ye will teach them to love one another, and to serve one another."
  • 3 Nephi 18:21 - "Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed."
  • DC 68:25 - "And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents."
  • DC 83:4 - "All children have claim upon their parents for their maintenance until they are of age."
  • DC 93:43 - "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."
  • DC 121:41-44 - "No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned; By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile Reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he esteem thee to be his enemy; That he may know that thy faithfulness is stronger than the cords of death."

Responsibilities of Children:
  • Ephesians 6:1-3 - "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."
  • Colossians 3:20 - "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord."
