Parental Discipline

One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.

It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

Don’t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.”

Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.
