- 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 of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified of them, for the Lord, your God, is going forth with you. He will never leave you or abandon you.Next verse!With image
