THE PROVERBS.
CHAPTER 3:
[11] My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
[12] For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
CHAPTER 22:
6 Train up a child in the way he should
go: and when he is old, he will not depart
from it.
CHAPTER 13:
24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son:
but he that loveth him chasteneth him
betimes.
CHAPTER 17:
10 A reproof entereth more into a wise
man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
CHAPTER 19:
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope,
and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
CHAPTER 20:
30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth
away evil: so do stripes the inward parts
of the belly.
CHAPTER 22:
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a
child; but the rod of correction shall drive
it far from him.
CHAPTER 23:
13 Withhold not correction from the child:
for if thou beatest him with the rod, he
shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and
shalt deliver his soul from hell.
CHAPTER 29:
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but
a child left to himself bringeth his mother
to shame.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee
rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy
soul.
THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS.
CHAPTER 12:
8 But if ye be without chastisement,
whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our
flesh which corrected us, and we gave
them reverence: shall we not much rather
be in subjection unto the Father of spirits,
and live?
10 For they verily for a few days
chastened us after their own pleasure; but
he for our profit, that we might be
partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present
seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them
which are exercised thereby.
THE REVELATION OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE.
CHAPTER 3:
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and
chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
