Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of correction shall drive it away.
He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes.
Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:
Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed? Is it not thou who only art?
The blueness of a wound shall wipe away evils: and stripes in the more inward parts of the belly.
