¹¹ All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, `even the fruit' of righteousness.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.

¹⁷ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence for ever.

¹⁸ Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; nd set not thy heart on his destruction.

¹⁰ There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way; `And' he that hateth reproof shall die.

¹⁶⁵ Great peace have they that love thy law; And they have no occasion of stumbling.

¹⁸ Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;

¹⁷ for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

⁴ and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:

⁵ and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.

³² Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
