The F.O.G*

[9] Moreover, we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us. Shouldn't we submit even more readily to our spiritual Father and truly live?

The F.O.G Paraphrase

Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising us, and we were reverencing them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
