The Building of The Family in Christ 

The Household 

1Co 3:10

According to the grace of Alahayim which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Yache Christ.

  • Only on his name and character, can a household be built.

Mat 7:24

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

  • The Rock is Christ according to precept.

Hermas Parable 9

12[89]:1 "First of all, Sir," say I, "explain this to me. The rock and the gate, what is it?" "This rock," saith he, "and gate is the Son of Alahayim." 

1 Cor 10:4

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Mat 7:25

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

  • In spiritual and physical trials, standing firm in Christ on his character can only be through the humility in which he walks himself for the sake of helping others, seeking their wellbeing in selflessness;

Psalms 22:16

For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Odes of Solomon 31:8-12

And they condemned me when I stood up, me who had not been condemned. 9. Then they divided my spoil, though nothing was owed them. 10. But I endured and held my peace and was silent, that I might not be disturbed by them. 11. But I stood undisturbed like a solid rock, which is continuously pounded by columns of waves and endures 12. And I bore their bitterness because of humility; that I might save my nation and instruct it.

Matthew 11:29

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

  • Its the humility in heart that prospers the desire to hear Christ's saying and do them, hearkening to our Everlasting father's instructions that we may be wise;

Ecclesiasticus 6:33

If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,

Proverbs 13:1

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

  • Pride on the other hand, makes one foolish, leading to fall when tribulations arise as it leads the soul not to stand upon the humble character of Christ and Law of Alahayim in contentment, turning the heart away from its Maker in covetousness;

Ecclesiasticus 10:12, 9

The beginning of pride is when one departeth from Alahayim, and his heart is turned away from his Maker. 9 Why is earth and ashes proud? There is not a more wicked thing than a covetous man: for such an one setteth his own soul to sale; because while he liveth he casteth away his bowels.

Ecclesiasticus 32:18

A man of counsel will be considerate; but a strange and proud man is not daunted with fear, even when of himself he hath done without counsel.

  • Confirming that pride makes it to where one would not walk in the counsels of Christ, as one's heart is estranged from him, though one may have heard his sayings;

Mat 7:26-27

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand. 27  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Proverbs 16:18

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Ecclesiasticus 23:8

The sinner shall be left in his foolishness: both the evil speaker and the proud shall fall thereby.

  • One has to see things for what they are, understanding that it is one's pride that's a cause as to why one is unable to stand firm in trials through Alahayim as Alahayim resists the proud, so as to confess whatever desire it may be that's causing it and make the changes to walk in humility that Alahayim may draw near and strengthen the soul in standing firm on the Rock of Christ;

James 4:6-8, 10

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, Alahayim resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to Alahayim. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to Alahayim, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

  • If one doesn't repent and turn from the pride to submit one's self under Alahayim, it will affect the household negatively as the house must be founded on the strong rock of Yache the Lord by hearing and doing his sayings in love through humility so that the storm of the enemy, whether spiritual or physical, will not cause one's house to fall; 

Psa 127:1

A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except Ahayah build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except Ahayah keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

  • Its actually Ahayah doing everything through Lord Yache, so there is truly no place for pride or glorying as its Him who keeps a soul from being taken when the devil and his spirits seek to cause a soul to sin when He is the confidence of the soul who trusts in Him;

Proverbs 3:25-26

Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 26 For Ahayah shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

  • For this cause, reverencing Him by abiding in humility with diligence to work righteousness consistently, praying that he keeps our hearts (city) and path we are walking in lest we get taken in an evil way, is the only means of protecting one's family through Him;

​Proverbs 4:26-27

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.​

Sir 27:3

Unless a man hold himself diligently in the fear of the Lord, his house shall soon be overthrown.

  • If the man of the house does not hold himself diligently in the fear of Ahayah in humility to walk in the meekness and lowly heart of Christ that Alahayim's grace may be with him to bear the fruits of the Spirit through keeping the law as an example to his household and for the saving of his household, it shall be overthrown. Ahayah builds the house through Wisdom the Holy Spirit, and other good spirits in His family, so faith, hope, and confidence in Him is necessary to get the help required from Him; 

Psalms 85:9-13

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12 Yea, Ahayah shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

Pro 24:3

Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

  • As we can see, Ahayah gives the good spirits we need to help us walk in the ways of his steps (character) when we reverence Him in humility to serve him with a single mind and desire unto fulfilling His will. This building of the house starts with the man, the head of the household, doing the work upon the foundation of Christ to be strengthened in the right spirits to build his house and his actions affect his family: 

Hermas Parable 7

1[66]:3 I say to him; "Sir, if they perpetrated such deeds that the glorious angel is embittered, what have I done?" "They cannot be afflicted otherwise," saith he, "unless thou, the head of the whole house, be afflicted; for if thou be afflicted, they also of necessity will be afflicted; but if thou be prosperous, they can suffer no affliction."  

Hermas Vision 2

3[7]:1 "But do thou, Hermas, no longer bear a grudge against thy children, neither suffer thy sister to have her way, so that they may be purified from their former sins. For they shall be chastised with a righteous chastisement, unless thou bear a grudge against them thyself.

  • A man must not bear a grudge against his family for Alahayim to righteously chastise them toward repentance and he must keep the commandments of Ahayah himself to receive Wisdom to build his house:

Sir 1:26  

If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee. 

  • After he teaches himself to walk in the commandments, then he can teach his wife to walk likewise, not being an occasion of stumbling to her through hypocrisy, so that she may bring up their children in the fear of Ahayah.

The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians 4:1-2

 ...let us arm ourselves with the armor of righteousness, and let us teach ourselves first to walk in the commandment of the Lord; 2 and then our wives also, to walk in the faith that hath been given unto them and in love and purity, cherishing their own husbands in all truth and loving all men equally in all chastity, and to train their children in the training of the fear of Alahayim.

  • The man has to be an example of a believer first, then he shall teach his household (not being an hypocrite, bearing a grudge, nor neglectful of his family) how to walk according to the commands through his example. Not bearing a grudge, admonishments in love and daily righteous discourse can save the household;

Hermas Vision 2

3[7]:1 "But do thou, Hermas, no longer bear a grudge against thy children, neither suffer thy sister to have her way, so that they may be purified from their former sins. For they shall be chastised with a righteous chastisement, unless thou bear a grudge against them thyself. The bearing of a grudge worketh death. But thou, Hermas, hast had great tribulations of thine own, by reason of the transgressions of thy family, because thou hadst no care for them. For thou wast neglectful of them, and wast mixed up with thine evil transactions. 

  • Being caught up in evil business affairs and evil works, going after one's lusts while neglecting the family because of the bearing a grudge at their wrong doings so as not to reprove the children and letting your wife have her way in unrighteousness so as not to help her by bringing accountability brings the household down as the pride at work is causing great tribulations for the head of household which trickles down to the family struggling as well as the love isn't there to help bring awareness and accountability to them seeing as though hatred would suffer sin upon another so as to neglect them in the grudge because of the bitterness, leaving them to themselves when there is opportunity to do good by righteous discourse. There is remedy in being genuinely honest (simplicity) and transparent (guileless) about things and pressing into the work of overcoming the evil by resisting it (continence) in faith that one and one's household can be saved;

3[7]:2 But herein is thy salvation, in that thou didst not depart from the living Alahayim, and in thy simplicity and thy great continence. These have saved thee, if thou abidest therein; and they save all who do such things, and walk in guilelessness and simplicity. These men prevail over all wickedness, and continue unto life eternal. 3[7]:3 Blessed are all they that work righteousness. They shall never be destroyed.

Hermas Vision 1

3:2 But the great mercy of the Lord had pity on thee and thy family, and will strengthen thee, and establish thee in His glory. Only be not thou careless, but take courage, and strengthen thy family. For as the smith hammering his work conquers the task which he wills, so also doth righteous discourse repeated daily conquer all evil. Cease not therefore to reprove thy children; for I know that if they shall repent with all their heart, they shall be written in the books of life with the saints." 

  • A man being strengthened by Christ to work such righteousness as continence, simplicity, and guilelessness in humility can keep the house from being destroyed and save it, being strengthened by Christ to come out of being careless, taking courage to cherish and nourish his family by having righteous discourse daily when the opportunities come up along with reproofs for his children's shortcomings in hopes of their repentance while not letting his wife have her own way in love for her as his own flesh, so she can be purified from her sins and be his sister in truth by the accountability and teachings he brings to her attention to help her awareness and to edify her.

Love, the Standard of the Household         

  • The unity of the household is held together through love, being guided by the law in long-suffering for the salvation of the household;

Testament of Gad 4:1, 6

Beware, therefore, my children of hatred; for it worketh lawlessness even against the Lord Himself. 6 For the spirit of hatred worketh together with Satan, through hastiness of spirit, in all things to men’s death; ​but the spirit of love worketh together with the law of Alahayim in long-suffering unto the salvation of men.

Testament of Gad 6:1 

And now, my children, I exhort you, love ye each one his brother, and put away hatred from your hearts, love one another in deed, and in word, and in the inclination of the soul.

  • Genuine love in word, deed, and natural tendency is required to keep hatred out of our hearts and household;

Mat 7:12

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

  • Consideration of others to uphold the law in thought and action towards them is love, being unwilling to do ill to another in humility out of reverence for Alahayim;

Romans 13:10

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Testament of Gad 5:3-5

Righteousness casteth out hatred, humility destroyeth envy. For he that is just and humble is ashamed to do what is unjust, being reproved not of another, but of his own heart, because the Lord looketh on his inclination. 4 He speaketh not against a holy man, because the fear of Alahayim overcometh hatred. 5 For fearing lest he should offend the Lord, he will not do wrong to any man, even in thought.

  • This humility to be considerate of one another for Alahayim's sake so as to avoid the desire for vain glory helps keep envy and the provocations that come from the spirits of pride and jealousy to have place in the household;

Galatians 5:26

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Philippians 2:3-5, 2

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Yache: 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Colossians 3:17, 23-24

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yache, giving thanks to Alahayim and the Father by him. 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Ephesians 4:1

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Col 3:12-14

Put on therefore, as the elect of Alahayim, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of Alahayim rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 

  • Individuals in the family have to practice love and joy within themselves for the household to flourish as well;

​Ecclesiasticus 30:23, 21, 22

Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein. 21 Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel. 22 The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.

Eph 5:19-22

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto Alahayim and the Father in the name of our Lord Yache Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Alahayim. 22 Wives, submit your selves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

  • Serve your husband as you would serve Yache the Lord, for we must love those we can see as Him who we cannot see with bodily eyes. {I John 4:20}

1Pe 3:1

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation G391 of the wives;

  • (Whether it be your husband or others, your behavior wins unbelievers over so your obedience is not for your wellbeing only but for the sake of others conversion and salvation also.)

1Pe 3:2

While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

  • When they see your sober behavior they will believe the Gospel being won over by your good works because the Gospel is in the power of the demonstration of the Spirit, not words. { I Cor 4:20}  Men, let your works in love through the fruits of the law teach her the law of Alahayim as Christ teaches through his character and works without bitterness in longsuffering for her salvation though the knowledge of the law which guides your mode of operation and mindset; 

1 Corinthians 2:4-5

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of Alahayim.

Testament of Dan 6:9

..for he is true and long-suffering, meek and lowly, and teacheth by his works the law of Alahayim.

1 Peter 3:7

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Colossians 3:19 

Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Sir 28:4-7 

He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins? 5 If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins? 6 Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments. 7 Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.

Hermas Vision 2 (3:1)

..no longer bear a grudge against thy children, neither suffer thy sister to have her way, so that they may be purified from their former sins. For they shall be chastised with a righteous chastisement, unless thou bear a grudge against them thyself. The bearing of a grudge worketh death...

Testament of Gad 4:6

For the spirit of hatred worketh together with Satan, through hastiness of spirit, in all things to men’s death..

  • Also, a man must operate in humility, long-suffering, and love with his children so as to be meek and gentle, not lording over them, but being an ensample and guide unto his flock, viewing them as his brothers and sisters in Christ, not desiring vain glory over them in hateful pride, leading him to provoke them to anger or discourage them;

Ecclesiasticus 4:30 

Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantick among thy servants.

Colossians 3:21 

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

1 Peter 5:3

Neither as being lords over Alahayim's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

Titus 3:2

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

1 Timothy 4:12 

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1 Thessalonians 2:10-11

Ye are witnesses, and Alahayim also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

Examples of Good Behavior

  • Examples of good behavior for brothers and sisters include the following;

1 Clem 21:6-7

Let us fear the Lord Yache Christ, whose blood was given for us. Let us reverence our rulers; let us honor our elders; let us instruct our young men in the lesson of the fear of Alahayim. Let us guide our women toward that which is good: 7 Let them show forth their lovely disposition of purity; let them prove their sincere affection of gentleness; let them make manifest the moderation of their tongue through their silence; let them show their love, not in factious preferences but without partiality towards all them that fear Alahayim, in holiness...

Tit 2:1, 6-8  

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
Tit 2:2-5  

That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of Alahayim be not blasphemed.

  •  The women are called to be obedient unto their own husbands for their salvation: 

Eph 5:23

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the savior of the body.

  • Just as the self sacrifice of Christ is what saves the Church, the husband becoming a living sacrifice to work righteousness in all things is what saves his wife.

Eph 5:24-25

Therefore as the Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it:

  • A man must give up himself (his own evil desires and pleasures) and die to himself (his former desires and pleasures) by serving Yache (focused on fulfilling his Lord's desires and will in his life to please him) to lead his house aright.

​1 Corinthians 7:32

But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

  • Before marriage, he practices pleasing the Lord to make it his manner of living to walk in his commandments;

2 Timothy 2:4-5

No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

Ecclesiasticus 19:18-20

The fear of the Lord is the first step to be accepted of him, and wisdom obtaineth his love. 19 The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the doctrine of life: and they that do things that please him shall receive the fruit of the tree of immortality. 20 The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency.

  • As he grows in operating in the knowledge of the law, he will edify others by his works to please them to by setting an example of a believer;

​Romans 15:1-2

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

  • When married, he will please his wife for her good to edification by dwelling with her according the knowledge of the law, bearing her infirmities to strengthen her in the ways of Alahayim by not letting her have her way so she may be his sister in truth when she repents from whatever she may be struggling with as holy women have done of old, going in the way their husbands would have them to go after his mind in Christ; 

1 Corinthians 7:33

But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

1 Peter 3:7

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Eph 5:26-28

That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word, 27  That he might present it to himself a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies: he that loveth his wife, loveth himself.

  • Through giving up himself for Christ's sake, learning to please the Lord and others for their good by his good works in the law, a man's house can be cleansed as Christ gave himself to cleanse the Church.

Eph 5:29-31

For no man ever yet hated his own flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the Church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

  • A man’s priority changes to the guiding of his household when he gets married as oppose to his complete subjection to his parents prior too. He doesn’t forget the commands or desires of his parents nor does he forsake them. Rather he applies their guidance to the building of his own house, just as Yache the Lord has applied all the commandments of Ahayah and laws of Wisdom given unto him to build his house, the Church.

Eph 5:32-33

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church. 33  Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular, so love his wife even as himself, and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

The Purpose of Head-coverings

Genesis 1:27

So Alahayim created man in his own image, in the image of Alahayim created he him; male and female created he them.

1Co 11:3

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is Alahayim.

  • The image of Alahayim is male and female and the man is the head of the woman, while the head of the man is Christ the Lord. Before the flood, the Watchers sinned with men's wives after the women adorn themselves to attract the angels:

Testament of Reuben 6:1-3

Flee, therefore, fornication, my children, and command your wives and your daughters, that they adorn not their heads and faces to deceive the mind: because every woman who useth these wiles hath been reserved for eternal punishment. 2 For thus they allured the Watchers who were before the flood; for as these continually beheld them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for they changed themselves into the shape of men, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. 3 And the women lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even unto heaven.

  • The women, operating in the spirit of fornication, had no reverence for their husbands seeing as though they adorned themselves to allure the angels at the first, which shows their lack of contentment with their own husbands. Also, they themselves were enticed to desire the angels though married, committing adultery in their hearts and fulfilled the actual act with them. The woman wasn't meant to be the glory of the angels, but of her head of household, the man, whether husband or father. Because of what transpired before the flood with the angels and women, a woman ought to have power on her head by the wearing of head coverings as a token of the power of the man's authority over her, as she is the glory of the man, not the angels: 

1Co 11:8-10, 7

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10  For this cause ought the woman to have power G1849 on her head because of the angels. 7  For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of Alahayim: but the woman is the glory of the man.

  • The man cannot cover his head in prayer and prophesying because he is the image and glory of Alahayim lest he dishonor his head, Christ. On the other hand, the woman must cover her head in the same and when going about in the world because she is the glory of the man, lest she dishonor her head, the man of household. The head covering is a sign of the power of her man upon her head to protect her from the evil angels as he is the savior of her body;

  • By definition, a woman’s head covering is a token of the control or sign of the authority of her husband over her; her father gives this authority over in marriage. {Sirach 22:4- 5}  If a woman doesn't have that hedge of a righteous man's protection over her, it leaves her vulnerable to being attacked by evil spirits;

​Ecclesiasticus 36:25

Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled..

  • Yet, if the woman submits to the righteous man to go in the way he would have her, confessing her faults and adhereing to his guidance in the faith for her, the prayers of a righteous man avails much to deliver her from evil spirits, having that hedge of a good man covering her;

Acts of Thomas 41, 42, 45 

...But a very beautiful woman suddenly uttered an exceeding loud cry, saying: O Apostle of the new Alahayim that has come into India, and servant of that holy and only good Alahayim; through you is he preached, the Savior of the souls that come to him, and through you people that are tormented by the enemy are healed...

 Command me to be brought before you that I may share with you that which had befallen me, and through you that I may have hope and allow those around you to become more confident in the Alahayim of whom you

preach. For I have been tormented by the enemy for as long as five years.. 42..But I know and believe that both devils, spirits and destroyers are subject to you and are scared because of your prayers: please pray for me and drive away the devil that troubles me, so that I may be free and be gathered to my destiny that is mine from

the beginning, and to receive the grace that had been given to my family. 45 And having said this the devil wept, saying: I leave you, my fairest spouse, whom for such a long time have found my rest in you; I will now forsake you, my sure sister, my beloved in whom I was well pleased. What shall I do, I don’t know, or to whom shall I call that he may hear me and help me. I know what to do: I will depart to some place where this report of this man had not been heard and in my adventure I shall call another, my beloved by a different name. And he lifted up his voice and said: Abide in peace for you have taken refuge with one greater than I, but I will leave and seek for one like you, and if I don’t find her, I will return to you again: for I know that while you are near to this man you have a refuge in him, but when he departs you will be the same as you were before he appeared, and you’ll forget him and then I shall have opportunity and confidence: but now I fear the name of Him that had saved you.

  • Sisters have to take heed to remember the ways they've learned to walk in by the righteous man's guidance for them in the faith so as to operate in them at all times, not only when he is around so as not to give place to evil spirits according to the testimonies. A sister has to be honest with the man, confessing her faults so that he can pray unto Yache, their intercessor for her healing and protection;

James 5:16

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

  • Yache is that righteous man who's prayers are effectual when we pray unto him in proper order;

1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one Alahayim, and one mediator between Alahayim and men, the man Christ Yache;

Hebrews 7:25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto Alahayim by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

  • The name Yache, who the righteous man prayed through or unto, is who the devils fear. So men have to maintain their good works unto Him in humility that their prayers may save their family through His hedge he places about them after Ahayah, who hears the righteous, hears his prayers on the family's behalf;

​Proverbs 15:29

Ahayah is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

1 John 2:1

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Ahayah Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.​​

  • On the other hand, if it be that the man is struggling in unbelief, then the wife ought to work all righteousness as an example of a believer for his conversion as she may save her husband to win him over by her works into the faith by doing so

​​1 Peter 3:1-2

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

1 Corinthians 7:16

For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? 

  • The man and woman are essential to each other as they compose the image of Alahayim together, so they are to walk as one in Christ Yache as brother and sister, serving the Lord.

1Co 11:11-12

Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of Alahayim.

  • We are to be servants to our head in humility, esteeming their will above ourselves as Lord Yache is a servant to his head, the Father Ahayah Alahayim. Yache’s sole desire of his own will was to do the will of his head, in which he was rewarded with glory and dominion. This is our example to serve our head fulfilling, his will and in doing so, we shall serve one another as he came to serve by the will of his Father.

  • Yache’s desire to fulfill the will of his head, the Father;

Psa 40:8

I delight to do thy will, O my Alahayim: yea, thy law is within my heart.

  •  Yache’s obedience;

Joh 12:49-50

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50  And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

  • Yache’s reward;

Psa 45:7

Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore Alahayim, thy Alahayim, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows

  • Yache invites to us to be humble servants as he is;

Mat 11:28-30

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

  • ​Paul invites us unto the same;

Php 2:1-8

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Yache. Who, being in the form of Alahayim, thought it not robbery to be equal with Alahayim: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Understanding the Hierarchy of the Law in Relationships

Exodus 19:5

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

4 Maccabees 2:10-12

For the Law ranks above affection for parents, so that a man may not for their sakes surrender his virtue, 11. and it overrides love for a wife, so that if she transgress, a man should rebuke her, 12. and it governs love for children, so that if they are naughty a man should punish them, and it controls the claims of friendship, so that a man should reprove his friends if they do evil.

Leviticus 19:17-18

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. 18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am Ahayah.

Deuteronomy 1:17

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is Alahayim's..

Deuteronomy 16:19-20

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which Ahayah thy Alahayim giveth thee.

  • ​The Law of Alahayim has precedence in all relationships as the covenant is to obey his voice. {Exo 19:5; 15:26} The law commands to honor parents, {Exo 20:12} so they are held in a high regard and valued all the days of the children’s lives, yet we do not surrender our virtue in keeping the law out of our affection for our parents {4 Mac 2:10} to transgress for their sakes or out of respect for them, lest we sin in respect of persons. [Deut 1:17] Likewise the law conquers love for spouse and children alike to admonish and hold them accountable when transgressing the law. {4 Macc 2:11-12} Also, the law requires love and respect for all so as to hear the small (children) and the great (adults) when matters arise to judge righteously. By giving even children a voice and boundaries that must be respected and taken into consideration, as well as holding adults accountable if they have offended a little one, so that children understand that they are also respected as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Understanding the Hierarchy

of the Household

Sir 3:2

For the Lord hath given the father honor over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.

  • Now in regard to the household, the father has honor over the children all their life, while the authority over the sons in their youth is given to the mother. {Sir 3:2} A son comes into the society of men at age 15, so he is considered a man at that age:

Jasher 26:17

And the boys grew up to their fifteenth year, and they came amongst the society of men.

  • In the mother-son relationship, a woman ought not to usurp authority over a man {I Tim 2:12} so when the sons reach the age of manhood at 15, {Jasher 26:13-17} she doesn’t have authority over them nor should she seek to usurp it according to the law. {I Tim 2:12}

1 Timothy 2:12

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 

  • As men, the sons continue to honor their mother (having a deep respect for her and valuing her) all their days as the law commands, and they do the things that would please her unto edification {Tob 4:3; Rom 15:2} not grieving her with foolish works to sin. {Pro 10:1; Heb 3:17; Jash 19:12-16}

Tobit 4:3 

And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her not.

Romans 15:2 

Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.

Proverbs 10:1 

A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

  • Yache is an example of these things as he was subject to his mother Mary in his youth, {Luke 2:41-51} yet when he reached the age of manhood, he was not under her authority yet he had authority to lead her. {John 19:26-27} In the spiritual world this understanding holds true as well, in the fact that the Son, Yache (the Word), after praying to the Father, {John 14:16-17} also has authority to send the Holy Spirit, {John 15:26} His true Mother, {Gosp of Thomas 101} so that he still honors the Father in all things, {John 8:49} and justifies his Mother {Luke 7:35} with good works, honoring her, yet he is not under his Mother’s authority as a man himself.

1 Corinthians 11:3, 8-9, 7, 11-12 

But I would have you know, that .. the head of Christ is Alahayim. ..the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man;…8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of Alahayim: but the woman is the glory of the man. 11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of Alahayim.

  • In regard to the hierarchy between man and woman, a woman cannot be the head of a woman, so a mother cannot be the head of her daughter, as her father is her head, nor is a brother the head of his sister, though a brother has power to lead her about in the direction their father would have her to go. [1Co 9:5] Though a sister is an aid unto her brother, helping him keep their father's commandments and laws of their mother, [Pro 7:4-5, Psa 85:13] she cannot be the head of her brother as Christ is the head of man and his father is his head of household until he is married. In regard to sons, a woman has authority over her son in his youth until he is the age of a man wherein he is no longer under her authority though he still honors her all his days to walk in the judgements of his father that she taught him in his youth as for to please her by his good works while she supports and exhorts him as a sister with words of encouragement to be sober minded, keeping himself from idols. [Pro 7:4-5, Tit 2:6, Tob 10:12] As for his father, he is his lord, having honor over him all his days, and his head of household until he be married himself. As for headship, when he becomes the age of a man, Christ is his head even though his father is still head of the household until he be married. In regard to headship for a woman, a woman cannot be the head of a man or her son(s) because the man is the head of the woman. The Holy Spirit is not the head of Yache the Son, even as the wife is not the head of the sons, nor other children, nor a sister over her brother. The wife is one flesh with her husband, {Gen 2:23-24} so she is a representation of him, even as the Church represents the Son of Alahayim. {Hermas Parable 9 1[78]:1} The wife operates in unity being in agreement with her husband, {Sir 25:1; Amos 3:3} being after his mind {Sir 7:26} and going in the way he would have her, {Sir 25:26} instructing the sons according to his judgments so that her husband may leave one like unto himself in the earth, {Sir 30:3-4} being reared up in righteousness so he won't depart from his father's ways when he is old. {Pro 22:6}

Amos 3:3 

Can two walk together, except they be agreed? 

Sirach 25:1 

In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before Alahayim and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.

  • The Holy Spirit is beautified when a man and wife are in unity and brother and sister in Christ, having love for one another, and agree together;

1 Timothy 5:14 

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

Titus 2:4-5

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of Alahayim be not blasphemed.

  • Being selfless, having affection and care for her husband's wellbeing as a tower against death, reverencing him to go after his mind in subjection to him, and her loving their children to guide them in the ways they ought to go in the Lord, being a keeper at home that bears the difficulties of their upbringing, her husband and children will call her blessed and her husband will trust her as her works declare her virtue and fidelity to them by the fruit that she's bearing in the children;

Proverbs 31:27-28, 11-12

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

  • Both parents pay attention to the ways of their children to guide them in the ways of Alahayim to serve Them (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) with reverence, so that they may not depart from Their laws and spirits (fruits):

Psalms 32:8

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Proverbs 31:27

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 

Sirach 30:3 

He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him.

  • Lord willing, with the father's instructions and teachings in the way to go, guiding of his son along with his wife looking well to the child's ways to ensure he is going in the right way, the child won't depart from what he has been trained up in and he will be as his father in uprightness when he is old:

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Sirach 30:4 

Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself.

Understanding for the Family:

  • In continuation of understanding the hierarchy of the household, the man is the head of the women of his household, whether his wife or daughter, and reverenced as their lord though Christ is his Lord and Lord of all the household of his children, male and female. When a man gives his daughter in marriage to a husband, that husband becomes her head and lord, becoming one flesh with him (though she still honors her fathers (in-laws included) calling them her lord also). Amongst siblings, since a woman ought not to usurp authority over a man, a brother has power over his sister as Christ has power over the 12 virgins, his sisters. {Hermas Parable 9 (13:2)} This is why brothers are consulted when giving a sister in marriage {Gen 34:4-17} or can give her in marriage as well if the father isn't present. {Jubilees 30:7} In regard to the father-son hierarchy in the household, Christ is the head of the man, so when a male becomes a man at age 15, Christ is his head while his father continues to be his lord prior to and after that age as the head of the household. If the son gets married though, it would require he be the head of his own household, though still honoring his father and Christ as his lords because his father and Christ are his lords all his life, having the honor over him whether married or not. A father is honored by his sons and reverenced as their lord throughout their life and Christ is the Lord of the whole household all the life as well. Both, sons and daughters, are servants to their father and mother as unto their masters, {Sir 3:7} honoring them with their whole heart {Sir 3:8} in word and deed that a blessing may come upon the children from them. {Sir 7:27} They both just have to be mindful not to surrender their virtue in keeping the law out of the affection for their parents to transgress in any wise. {4 Macc 2:10} 

Understanding for the Family:

  • The Son honors the Father {Jhn 8:49} and likewise the Father honors the Son. {Jhn 8:54} Even so, the children honor their parents {Eph 6:1-2} having a deep respect for them and placing a high value upon them (holding them in high regard). Likewise, the parents honor their children having deep respect for them as their brothers and sisters in Christ {Matt 23:8;12:50} whom they set an example to follow, not lording over their flock (children) {1 Pet 5:3} in roughness and pride, {Sir 10:21} but guiding them in the meekness and gentleness of Christ {2 Cor 10:1} through entreaty, educating and inviting them unto the service of Alahayim [2 Esdras 1:28] while holding them accountable as brethren in the faith out of love in hopes they will choose the right way. [Lev 19:18; Pro 13:24; 19:8]

Understanding for Mothers in the Family:

  • The mother is given wisdom and instruction to guide the sons from her husband, even as the Holy Spirit has received her prudence and knowledge from Ahayah {Pro 8:12; Isa 57:15}  and she poured it without measure upon Yache, their Son. {Matt :16; John 3:34} Yache gives heed to his Mother's laws to keep him from corruption {Wis 6:18and obeys the voice of his Father {John 12:49-50} just as righteous sons will not forsake their mother's law as they grow, nor will they depart from keeping their father's commandments. {Pro 6:20} The mother has authority to guide the house according to the instruction of the Lord which she learns from her husband at home {I Co 14:34-35} as they grow together in the faith through Christ. {Eph 2:18-22} The sons are in subjection to both their parents in their youth even as Yache was to his parents on earth. {Luke 2:51} When a son becomes a man at 15, he is no longer under his mother's authority though he still honors her to do the good works that please her, not forsaking her laws that he was trained up in from a child as she no longer teaches him but encourages him with exhortations to be sober minded {Tit 2:6} as a sister now that he is at the age of manhood, so as not to usurp authority over him. A daughter is also trained up in the ways that she shall go so that she may not depart, caring for keeping herself pure in body and spirit to the honor of the Lord and her father's house. When she becomes a young woman, age 13, {Gen 24:1-3, 51; Jasher 24:37-40; Gen 24:54-61} her mother continues to prepare her for womanhood in marriage Alahayim wills, by her example of good works in reverence towards her father as a sister and wife unto him. Likewise, by her example as a mother, building up her the household, walking in the fruits that profess piety, and teaching her good things to help her prosper in honoring her father's house. {Tit 2:2-5} 

Understanding for Daughters in the Family:

  • The daughters are the possessions of their father as his virgins {I Co 7:36-37} until he gives that authority over to a man of understanding (by evidence of keeping himself from evil) in marriage. {Sir 7:24-25; Exo 21:7} A father has care over his daughter's body, {Sir 7:24;42:9-11} just as he protects his wife, until he gives her to a man of understanding in marriage. {Sir 7:25} This is why the law stipulates that if a man finds a unbetrothed virgin and lies with her, he must pay her father the dowry {Exodus 22:16-17} because she is the possession of her father until the man pays for her and has his consent. An unmarried daughter's focus is on how she may please the Lord by being pure in body and spirit until she is given in marriage if Alahayim wills, then she adds to her focus by focusing on how she can please her husband for his good unto edification, all to the honor of her father's house. {I Cor 7:34; Rom 15:2} 

Understanding for Sons in the Family:

  • The sons have power over their sisters to lead them about in fulfilling their father's will, {I Co 9:5} even as Yache, the Son, has power over the 12 virgins who are holy spirits who aid in fulfilling the Father's work in creation. {Hermas Parable 9 [2:3;13:2;15:1-2]} In their youth, the sons protect and guide their sisters to obey their father by the instruction/wisdom of their mother and in obedience to the commands of their father, who is head of the household. When the sons become young men at age 15, they still honor their parents though they are not under their mother's authority and they still have power over their sisters, leading her as their father would have her to go until she is given in marriage wherein her husband will be her head and who has power over her to lead her about as he would have her to go, so that her mind would be as his mind in righteousness. {Sir 7:26; 26:14}

Benefits of a Righteous Family Environment for Sons:

  • The hierarchy of the family prepares the children for serving Alahayim and adulthood by the sons learning to honor their father and mother being in subjection unto them as unto the Father and Mother, then reciprocating that nurture and gentleness they received from their parents when guiding and protecting their sisters in sincerity learning to be patient, long-suffering, delicate and affectionate with them, as they have seen and experienced their father and mother doing. This will prepare the sons to be upright husbands when they receive a wife, if Alahayim wills it, because they will know how to love her as a sister first and dwell with her according to the knowledge of the law, having loved their own sister in righteousness and guiding them by the example and teachings of their parents.

Benefits of Righteous Family Environments for Daughters:

  • This is also a nurturing environment for a daughter to learn to serve Alahayim and become a virtuous woman who professes piety in the world, honoring her father's house. The daughter learns to be shamefaced toward all men by the example of her mother's good ways in subjection (reverence), loyalty, and affection to her husband in honor for him, being trained up in her own subjection (reverence), loyalty and affinity to her father in honor for him, and her reverence with respect and affinity for her brothers who look out for her, honoring them. The daughter gets to learn how to be a helpmeet for her father and brothers. She also learns from her mother how to be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, sound in charity, sound in patience, not a false accuser, not given to much wine, chaste, gentle, good, discreet, loving, obedient, a keeper at home, and a teacher of good things to the children. {Tit 2:3-6} She also learns to treat her sisters as sisters in Christ, having been treated as a sister by her mother, not being lorded over but respected and helped as a fellow child of Alahayim. This environment also teaches a daughter not to usurp authority over a man, which would be a reproach unto her. {Sir 22:5; 42:10; I Tim 2:12} The environment encourages her to walk in humility by honoring her father, mother, and siblings. This environment prepares her for marriage as she walks in humility and obedience towards her parents and siblings, understanding the love her brothers and parents have shown through guiding her on the right paths, which will enable her to have a fruitful relationship with her husband, whom she will reverence, respect, and have affection for as a brother firstly, having loved her brothers and father, as well as love affectionately as a wife which she learned from her mother's relationship with her father and the education her father guides her in to be an aid and helpmeet unto a man. She will also love her daughters as her sisters, guiding them in the fruits of piety by her works and goodly words, having been treated as a sister by her mother. For these reasons, parents working as one flesh to raise their household together according to the law, produces good fruitful children by being examples of believers to them, showing them how to love and honor one another, just as the Lord Yache learned from the Holy Father and received wisdom from his true Mother.

  • It is a blessing in Ahayah’s eyes for a husband and his wife (or wives) to build the house by raising up righteous children as our fore parents.

Rth 4:11

And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses: Ahayah make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:

Sir 26:16

As the Sun when it ariseth in the high heaven: so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.

Pro 31:27

She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 

  • Her focus on the ways of her house, working hard to train up the children in Ahayah's ways, will show forth in the good fruits of their children, continuing the man's name by walking in his ways their mother taught them;

Sir 44:10-14, 30:4  

But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten. 11  With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant. 12  Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes. 13  Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out. 14  Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore. 30:4 Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself.

  • These are the fruits that come from a good wife guiding the man's house to build it up as it happened with Israel through Rachel and Leah. For such reasons, a wife is counted above children, as its her works and efforts in the household that builds up the children

Sir 40:19

Children and the building of a city continue a man’s name: but a blameless wife is counted above them both.
Pro 14:1

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

  • In instances where their mother isn't walking in the faith by evidence of her works plucking the house down or their father operating in unrighteousness, the children also have a choice to do the opposite, learning from the negative experiences they had with their parent(s) so as to do uprightly themselves to cover the shortcomings of their parents;

Ezekiel 18:14, 17, 19

Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like, 17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. 19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

Sie 22:9

If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.

  • The children also have a choice to do the opposite of the upright ways of their parents to the dishonor of their parents as Alahayim has given everyone free choice;

Sir 22:10

But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.

  • In such instance, the parents still have to strive in the faith to be steadfast, regardless of the choices of their children, even as Isaac served the Lord regardless of his sons choices to go in the ways of Alahayim or not, while nurturing them with words of righteousness in due season in hopes they'll come to repentance;

Ignatius to Ephesians 10:2-3

Against their outbursts of wrath be ye meek; against their proud words be ye humble; against their railings set ye your prayers; against their errors be ye steadfast in the faith; against their fierceness be ye gentle. And be not zealous to imitate them by requital. 3 Let us show ourselves their brothers by our forbearance; but let us be zealous to be imitators of the Lord, vying with each other who shall suffer the greater wrong, who shall be defrauded, who shall be set at nought; that no herb of the devil be found in you: but in all purity and temperance abide ye in Christ Yache, with your flesh and with your spirit.

Hermas Vision 1 (3:2)

But the great mercy of the Lord had pity on thee and thy family, and will strengthen thee, and establish thee in His glory. Only be not thou careless, but take courage, and strengthen thy family. For as the smith hammering his work conquers the task which he wills, so also doth righteous discourse repeated daily conquer all evil. Cease not therefore to reprove thy children; for I know that if they shall repent with all their heart, they shall be written in the books of life with the saints."

  • As everyone in the household has free choice, the good works of one family member can be for the conversion of another and strengthening of the well doer in good works, so working righteousness to apply the law in every instance is always the right choice regardless of what another family member chooses to do, whether it be a parent or a child in the household. That being said, wives are essential to the building of a house. {Sir 36:24} If they walk in the wisdom of the commandments and fruits of the Spirit, their house shall be established on the foundation of Christ, {Pro 24:3-4} but if they choose the wrong way, they will not only harm themselves, but their husband and children will be hindered from attaining a strong household because her good works are needed for prosperity. {Sir 25:-16-23} Husbands must walk in the wisdom of Alahayim all the same that the house may be established and prosper or else the lack of good works will leave their household weak and without Lord Yache's protection because "unless a man hold himself diligently the fear of the Lord his house shall be overthrown" {Sir 27:3} and "where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled." {Sir 36:25}
