  • Hebrews 12:5-11
    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.
     
  • Proverbs 13:24
    He who spares his rod hates his son,
    But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

     
  • Proverbs 22:15
    Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
    The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

     
  • Deuteronomy 8:2-3
    And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.
     
  • Proverbs 19:18
    Chasten your son while there is hope,
    And do not set your heart on his destruction.

     
  • Proverbs 20:30
    Blows that hurt cleanse away evil,
    As do stripes the inner depths of the heart.
     
  • Proverbs 23:13
    Do not withhold correction from a child,
    For if you beat him with a rod, he will not die.

     
  • Isaiah 53:4-5
    Surely He has borne our griefs
    And carried our sorrows;
    Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
    Smitten by God, and afflicted.
    But He was wounded for our transgressions,
    He was bruised for our iniquities;
    The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
    And by His stripes we are healed.
