or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves the one he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights. - For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.

- A fool despises a parent's instruction,
but the one who heeds admonition is prudent. - Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed.
- Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray. - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one.
Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise.Next verse!With image
