Let our children share in the instruction which is in Christ, let them learn the strength of humility before God, the powTer of pure love before God, how beautiful and great is his fear and how it

gives salvation to all who live holily in it with a pure mind.

For he is a searcher of thoughts and desires; his breath is in us, and when he will he shall take it away.

Now the faith which is in Christ confirms all[*](The confirmation of this teaching in the Scriptures) these things, for he himself through his Holy Spirit calls us thus:—Come, Children, hearken to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Who is the man that desireth life, that loveth to see good days?

Make thy tongue cease from evil, and thy lips that they speak no guile.
