- Turn to my rebuke,
Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you. - One who loves discipline loves knowledge,
But one who hates rebuke is stupid. - A fool rejects his father’s discipline,
But he who complies with rebuke is sensible. - One who is on the path of life follows instruction,
But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray. - All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.
- My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His rebuke,
For whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
Just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights. - But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
- Do all things without complaining or arguments; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding firmly the word of life.
For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.
