Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.
Proverbs 13:24 (NLT)

I John 4:20 (TLB)
But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.
I John 2:11 (NLT)
Don’t secretly hate any of your neighbors. But tell them openly what they have done wrong so that you will not be just as guilty of sin as they are.
Leviticus 19:17 (ERV)
Forget about the wrong things people do to you. Don’t try to get even. Love your neighbor as yourself. I Am The Lord.
