- Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
- If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.
- Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
- The ransom of a man's life is his wealth,
but a poor man hears no threat. - If you turn at my reproof,
behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you. - You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
- My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights. - Learn to do good;
seek justice,
correct oppression;
bring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow's cause. - Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but he who rejects reproof leads others astray. - If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
- The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing. - Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life.
- Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates reproof is stupid.
Know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.Next verse!With image
