we can also draw from matthew > 1do not judge, or you will be judged. 2for with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. > 3why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? 4how can you say to your brother, let me take the speck out of your eye, while there is still a beam in your own eye? 5you hypocrite! first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye. our responsibilities for rightousness is with ourselves first. we are meant to get our own shit together before we occupy ourselves with that of other, then we get our family on track, then our friend circle, town, country the world. we cant punish others for things we do ourselves without being hypocrites. so as a christian and especially as the head of a household would be to disciplin your family > 10our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but god disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in his holiness. 11no discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peacec to those who have been trained by it. also luke 14 > 25large crowds were traveling with jesus, and turning to them he said: 26if anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sistersyes, even their own lifesuch a person cannot be my disciple. 27and whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. speaks about those who are following jesus on his travels and spread his words, as they wont be able to see their family anymore as they will be prosecuted for the testimony and returning to them would put them at risk. he is telling them that they need to give up everything for this path they are about to go
