Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favor than he that flatters with the tongue.
For they truly for a few days disciplined us according to their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
