Proverbs 13:24

New Century Version

If you do not punish your children, you don’t love them, but if you love your children, you will correct them.

See the chapter Copy

Correct your children while there is still hope; do not let them destroy themselves.

Every child is full of foolishness, but punishment can get rid of it.

Correction and punishment make children wise, but those left alone will disgrace their mother.

Correct your children, and you will be proud; they will give you satisfaction.

The Lord corrects those he loves, just as parents correct the child they delight in.

Those who do not find me hurt themselves. Those who hate me love death.”

“If anyone comes to me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters—or even life—more than me, he cannot be my follower.

Know in your heart that the Lord your God corrects you as a parent corrects a child.
