12 Bible Verses about spanking

Do not withhold discipline from the child;
If you swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die.

You shall swat him with the reed-like rod
And rescue his life from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

The rod and reproof (godly instruction) give wisdom,
But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of discipline [correction administered with godly wisdom and lovingkindness] will remove it far from him.

You must submit to [correction for the purpose of] discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].

Apply your heart to discipline
And your ears to words of knowledge.

Discipline and teach your son while there is hope,
And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction.

Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
Yes, he will delight your soul.

Blows that wound cleanse away evil,
And strokes reach to the innermost parts.

A foolish son is a grief and anguish to his father
And bitterness to her who gave birth to him.

Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation].
