AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 13:24 He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love]. [Prov 19:18; 22:15; 23:13; 29:15, 17; Eph 6:4] |
Subject: "to spare the rod is to spoil the child" |
Bible Note: RosaLee : Your "new interpretation" of Proverbs 13:24, while not without interest, appears to this writer to be a venture into eisegesis, all things considered, especially the broader context in which the verse lies. Isn't it speaking simply and solely of parental discipline? --Hank |
