Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? no one.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
He that spares his rod hates his son: but he that loves him chastens him early.
Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.
Blows of a wound cleanse away evil: as do stripes the inner depths of the heart.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.
Correct your son, and he shall give you rest; yea, he shall give delight unto your soul.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Among whom also we all had our behavior in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
