One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 

(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 

For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 

Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. 

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 

But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. 

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. 

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

(Ask God for patience. Sometimes God tests us with our children. But, always pray and ask God for the right words to say and the appropriate actions to take to discipline our children.)

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. 

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. 

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
