- If you turn at my reproof,
behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you. - Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates reproof is stupid. - A fool despises his father's instruction,
but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. - Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but he who rejects reproof leads others astray. - All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
- 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.
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
