   everything.
 
3. If we fail to teach them to obey their parents, the world will teach them to rebel against their
   parents.
 
4. If we fail to teach them to select godly companions, the world will give them ungodly ones.

6. If we fail to teach them to enjoy their spouse, the world will teach them to destroy their
   marriages.

   whenever they want.
 
8. If we fail to teach them to work, the world will teach them to be lazy.

   will teach them to waste it away.
