PAIDAEI
HEBREWS 12:7-11
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For
what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined
—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true
sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, 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 spirits and live! 10 They disciplined us for a little
while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order
that we may share in his holiness. 11 No 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.
2 TIMOTHY 3:16

apostles, bishops and priests to their
children, for it is they who make them
acquainted with the Gospel.
-Martin Luther
“The Estate of Marriage,” 1522

PAIDAEI
“When a church- intentionally or not -assumes a
family’s responsibilities in the arena of spiritually
nurturing children, it fosters an unhealthy
dependence upon the church to relieve the family
of its Biblical responsibility.”
George Barna - Transforming Children into
Spiritual Champions
