Five Family Scriptures

Laura:
Joshua 24:15 - But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.
Galations 6:10 - Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone - especially to those in the family of faith.
Ephesians 6:1 - Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.
1 Peter 4:17 - For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
1 Timothy 3:4 - He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect.
All of these scriptures talk about respect for family and God's family. We should all show respect to both.


Emily:
Eph. 6:2-3- Honor your Father and Mother. This is the first commandment with a promise; if you honor your father and mother, "things will go well for you and you will have a long life on the earth."
1Peter 3:7- In the same way, you huspands must give honor to you wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life.
Eph.5:22- For wives, this means to submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Psalm 127:3 Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
Proverb 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
-Each of these scriptures describes a different relationship in the family, it shows how we should treat the members of our family. Not only now but also when we get married and have children. These are scriptures that all of us should take and apply to our lives.
