2 | "to spare the rod is to spoil the child" | Prov 13:24 | 10ECPreacher | 36478 | ||
Greetings, genny. Proverbs 13:24 Amplified "He who spares his rod [of discipline] hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines diligently and punishes him early." "Spare the rod, spoil the child" is apparently a very old and common saying that to me appears to be a corruption of this verse. While it is true that undisciplined children will be "spoiled", the indictment of scripture is against the parent(s). Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Pastor |

3 | "to spare the rod is to spoil the child" | Prov 13:24 | RosaLee | 200746 | ||
A new interpretation: spare the rod, spoil the child: The Rod is Jesus Christ, the root of Jesse, and teaching one's child Jesus Christ will prevent him from being spoiled; spoiled being destruction by not knowing Jesus Christ, but only knowing the world or evil or satan's ways. |
