The document provides advice around discipline and instruction. It states that soldiers cannot be entangled in civilian affairs if they want to please their commander, and athletes must follow rules to be crowned. It encourages not rejecting discipline from God, and disciplining children for their benefit rather than harm. Discipline imparts wisdom while leaving a child to themselves brings disgrace. Children should obey parents as it pleases God, and fathers should raise children in the Lord's training instead of exasperating them. Anger should not lead to sin.
