for whom the Lord loves, He rebukes, and scourges every son whom He receives.

But they that sin against me act wickedly against their own souls, and they that hate me love death.

Chasten your son, for so he shall be hopeful; and be not exalted in your soul to haughtiness.

Folly is attached to the heart of a child, but the rod and instruction are [then] far from him.

Refrain not from chastening a child, for if you beat him with the rod, he shall not die.

For you shall beat him with the rod, and shall deliver his soul from death.

Stripes and reproofs give wisdom, but an erring child disgraces his parents.

Chasten your son, and he shall give you rest, and he shall give honor to your soul.

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.

For whom the LORD loves He disciplines, and scourges every son whom He receives."

But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
