Read Ephesians 6:4 in the NABRE onlineAnd you, fathers, provoke not your children to anger: but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord.
Reflection
Do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. The two halves are connected: provocation closes the ear; nurture opens it. The instruction is to the father, who holds the authority.
