And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding;For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law.When I was my father’s son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,He also taught me, and said to me:“ Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live.

For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:“ My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.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?For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.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.
