| You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. | And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. |
| Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid. | Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
|
| As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent. | As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. |
| My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction; for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights. | My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. |
| Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. | Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. |
| You shall consider in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahweh your God disciplines you. | Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. |
| All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. | Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. |
| But I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified. | But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. |
| For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. | For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. |
| A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence. | A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. |
| He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. | He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. |
| But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer. | But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. |
| The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction. | The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. |
| Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. | And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. |
| Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. | Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. |
| Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. | Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. |
