That is, life brings to light the truth of the advice your father gave you; you keep marveling that your honored father has lived in this hard world with honesty and self-sacrifice. For in this world he is the person closest to you, for he is the person most sincere with you, for there are no lies in his words, for he does good to you unceasingly without expecting any benefit from you, for he does not give up on you for any sin or rebellion of yours, but goes on raising you with hope. You too, take care to become such a father.
