  lives worthy of God who calls you into his
  kingdom and glory. I Thess. 210-12

12
Have you ever disciplined your child in anger?
13
Anticipatory Consequences
14
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but
painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest
of righteousness and peace for those who have
been trained by (Heb. 1211).
15
He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who
loves him is careful to discipline him
(Pr. 1324)
16
Discipline your son, for in that there is hope
do not be a willing party to his death
(Pr. 1918).
17
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but
the rod of discipline will drive it far from
him. (Pr. 2215)
18
Do not withhold discipline from a child if you
punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish
him with the rod and save his soul from death
(Pr. 2313-14).
19
The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child
left to himself disgraces his mother.
Pr. 2915
