14  I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will ^cchasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

  18  Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth ^creproof shall be honoured.

  6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

  3  Yea, wo unto this people who are called the people of Nephi except they shall repent, when they shall see all these signs and wonders which shall be showed unto them; for behold, they have been a chosen people of the Lord; yea, the people of Nephi hath he loved, and also hath he ^cchastened them; yea, in the days of their iniquities hath he chastened them because he loveth them.

  4  Therefore, they must needs be ^achastened and tried, even as Abraham, who was commanded to offer up his only son.

  4  And that those who call themselves after my name might be ^achastened for a little season with a sore and grievous chastisement, because they did not hearken altogether unto the precepts and commandments which I gave unto them.
