Proverbs 3:11, 12

and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.

Hebrews 12:5-11
5And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."
7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
8If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
9Moreover,
we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them
for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and
live!
10Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Romans 3:23

Romans 6:23
23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
II Timothy 3:16, 17
16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Luke 16:14, 15
14The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.
15He
said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of
men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is
detestable in God's sight.
Luke 17:3, 4
3So watch yourselves.
"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
4If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him."
John 3:20, 21
20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21But
whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen
plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
Leviticus 19:17
17 " 'Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt.
II Thessalonians 3:13-15
13And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right.
14If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter,
take special note of him. Do not associate with him, in order that he
may feel ashamed.
15Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
Proverbs 9:7, 8
7 "Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult;
whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.
8 Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man and he will love you.
Proverbs 29:15, 17
15 The rod of correction imparts wisdom,
but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
17 Discipline your son, and he will give you peace;
he will bring delight to your soul.
