"“They helped everyone his neighbor; and everyone said to his brother, Be of good courage.” Isaiah 41:6 . Ed 286.4 Chapter 34—Discipline “Train, admonish, encourage, be long-suffering.” One of the first lessons a child needs to learn is the lesson of obedience. Before he is old enough to reason, he may be taught to obey. By gentle, persistent effort, the habit should be established. Thus, to a great degree, may be prevented those later conflicts between will and authority that do so much to create alienation and bitterness toward parents and teachers, and too often resistance of all authority, human and divine. Ed 287"
"They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage."
Ellen White directly references Isaiah 41:6 in this passage.
"The object of discipline is the training of the child for self-government. He should be taught self-reliance and self-control. Therefore as soon as he is capable of understanding, his reason should be enlisted on the side of obedience. Let all dealing with him be such as to show obedience to be just and reasonable. Help him to see that all things are under law, and that disobedience leads, in the end, to disaster and suffering. When God says “Thou shalt not,” He in love warns us of the consequences of disobedience, in order to save us from harm and loss. Ed 287.2"
"Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."
Both passages discuss the purpose and benefits of discipline/chastening, emphasizing its role in producing positive outcomes like righteousness and self-government. The EGW passage expands on the idea of discipline as a loving warning from God, aligning with the concept of chastening in Hebrews 12:11.
