- Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but the one who hates correction is stupid. - I reprove and discipline all those whom I love. Therefore, be sincere in your desire to repent.
- Blessed is the man whom God reproves.
Therefore, do not reject the discipline of the Almighty. - Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
- My son, do not ignore the Lord’s discipline
or refuse to accept his rebuke.
For the Lord disciplines those whom he loves,
just as a father chastises a beloved son. - Rather, I discipline my body and bring it under control, for fear that after preaching to others I myself may be disqualified.
- At the time that discipline is received, it always seems painful rather than pleasant, but afterward it yields a harvest of peace and uprightness to those who have been trained by it.
- Thus you could understand that the Lord, your God, was disciplining you, just like a father disciplines his son.
- For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom.
- A fool spurns his father’s correction,
but whoever heeds admonition is prudent. - Everyone who seeks a prize submits himself to rigorous self-discipline in every respect. They do so to win a perishable crown, while we seek an imperishable one.
- The end of all things is near. Therefore, lead disciplined lives and be watchful in prayer.
- Whoever heeds admonition is on the path to life,
but anyone who rejects correction goes astray. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools are those who despise wisdom and instruction. - Remain sober and alert, for your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
- Therefore, prepare your minds for action. Be calm and fix your hopes completely on the grace that you will be granted at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
- A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
but an undisciplined tongue crushes the spirit.
May the Lord, our God, be with us, just as he was with our fathers; may he not leave us or abandon us. Do not be afraid or dismayed, the Lord will go before you; he will not fail or forsake you.Next verse!With image
