New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

23 Do you have children? Discipline them,
    and make them obedient[a] from their youth.(A)
24 Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity,[b]
    and do not show yourself too indulgent with them.[c](B)
25 Give a daughter in marriage, and you complete a great task,
    but give her to a sensible man.
