Proverbs 20:30

Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God’s Spirit.

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: the rod of discipline drives it far from him.

For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”

I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.

Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.

So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.

You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”

“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.

I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more wickedness like this among you.

It may be that Yahweh will look on the wrong done to me, and that Yahweh will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

The spirit of man is Yahweh’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts.

Correct your son, and he will give you peace; yes, he will bring delight to your soul.

They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles, or the incense altars.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

“Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

Some of those who are wise will fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is close to me,” says Yahweh of Armies. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. All Israel shall hear, and fear.

He burned Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.

Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.

They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and he cut down the incense altars that were on high above them. He broke the Asherah poles, the engraved images, and the molten images in pieces, made dust of them, and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

But there is a spirit in man, and the Spirit of the Almighty gives them understanding.

For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.

A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.

A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.

and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

In all your dwelling places, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

“ ‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.

I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare.

They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more.

I will purge out from among you the rebels and those who disobey me. I will bring them out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
