| Proverbs 20:30 Display Chapter and Footnotes 30 The pain of a wound cleanses away evil, so do stripes purge the inward parts [including the heart] of man.5 [God chastens and scourges every son he accepts, Heb 12:6; he who has suffered in the flesh is finished with sin. As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God, 1 Pet 4:1-2.] | Hebrews 12:6 Display Chapter and Footnotes 6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and scourges every son whom he accepts."4 [The pain of a wound cleanses away evil, so do stripes purge the inward parts [including the heart] of man, Pro 20:30.] | 1 Peter 4:1-2 Display Chapter and Footnotes 1 Therefore, since Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mind because he who has suffered in the flesh is finished with sin, [From the Word of the Lord within: "Any of you whose sting to bear has been hard, use these facts: 1) all have suffered before you; 2) sin is excoriated; 3) God will remove the burden in time; and 4) the same is experienced by every cleanliness-desired heart in the nations."] 2 So that you should not live the rest of your time in the flesh in the lusts of men, but [live] to the will of God.1 |
