This is in scripture mostly linked with love and sonship, and implies 'instruction' and 'discipline.' He that loveth chasteneth. Proverbs 13:24; Deuteronomy 8:5; Hebrews 12:5-11; Revelation 3:19 . "Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest." Psalm 94:12 . The chastening at the time does not seem to be joyous but grievous, yet afterward it yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness to those exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:11 . John 15:2 shows that a Christian may be chastened of the Father that he may bring forth more fruit.
