Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.

A servant cannot be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not respond.

Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
