Raising a Child

Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

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

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

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

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

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

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

But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
