My child, when sinners tempt you, don't give in.

My child, don't go with people like that. Stay away from them.

My child, learn what I teach you and never forget what I tell you to do.

My child, don't forget what I teach you. Always remember what I tell you to do.

My child, remember what I say and never forget what I tell you to do.

where some people brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed. When Jesus saw how much faith they had, he said to the paralyzed man, "Courage, my son! Your sins are forgiven."

These are the solemn words which King Lemuel's mother said to him:

Each of you must respect your mother and your father, and must keep the Sabbath, as I have commanded. I am the LORD your God.

I remember the sincere faith you have, the kind of faith that your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice also had. I am sure that you have it also.
