4 passages from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.
Let us then also pray for those who have fallen into any sin, that meekness and humility may be given to them, so that they may submit, not unto us, but to the will of God. For in this way they shall secure a fruitful and perfect remembrance from us, with sympathy for them, both in our prayers to God and our mention of them to the saints.
The aged lady came to me while I was asleep, and said, "The Lord is not so much angry at you on account of your sins, as on account of your house, which has committed iniquity against the Lord and against you, their parents. But you love your children too much, and have not warned them. Warn them therefore and correct them."
