Disciplining A Child

He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.

A fool despiseth his father’s correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.

Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge; But he that hateth reproof is brutish.

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
