3. Hebrews 12:5-11
“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:”

4. (6) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (7) If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?”

5. (8) But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons (9) Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”

6. (10) For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.”

7. (11) Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.”

16. Ephesians 6:4
provoke not — irritate not, by vexatious commands, unreasonable blame, and uncertain temper [Alford]. Col.3:21, “lest they be discouraged.”

17. Ephesians 6:4
admonition — training by words (Deut. 6:7; “catechise,” Proverbs 22:6, Margin), whether of encouragement, or objection, or reproof, according as is required
of the Lord — such as the Lord approves, and by His Spirit dictates

18. Matthew 16:21-26
“From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. (22) Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.”

19. (23) But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. (24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

20. (25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
