Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, (2)to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.

Where did I learn the lessons regarding the proper way to relate to others but at my mother's knee, by the example of my father and by watching them relate to each other. Have we been equally faithful to instruct our children by the same examples? Am I guilty of malfeasance and dereliction of duty in the raising of my family?
