  1. Ephesians 6:4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

  2. “Training” Gr. Paideia “1. the whole training and education of children (which relates to the cultivation of mind and morals, and employs for this purpose now commands and admonitions, now reproof and punishment). It also includes the training and care of the body. 2. whatever in adults also cultivates the soul, esp. by correcting mistakes and curbing passions.” (Thayer).

  3. Bible Discipline I. Discipline is Commanded. • Do not provoke to wrath, but bring up in discipline of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). • Those who do not discipline hate their children (Proverbs 13:24; 1:1-7). • Destruction of the flesh can lead to Salvation of the soul. (I Corinthians 5:1-5; 2 Corinthians 2:6).

(Proverbs 23:13,14). • Destruction of flesh but salvation of spirit. (I Corinthians 5:5). • When he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6).
