13 Do not withhold correction from a child, For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. 14 You shall beat him with a rod, And deliver his soul from hell.
12 Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law,
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
23 For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.
1 A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
5 A fool despises his father’s instruction, But he who receives correction is prudent.
16 O Lord, by these things men live; And in all these things is the life of my spirit; So You will restore me and make me live.
9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
15 The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.
11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
