Discipline + Correction = Life

Proverbs 10:17
Pick your translation; the principle remains the same.


(New International Version)
He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.


(New American Standard Bible)
He is on the path of life who heeds instruction, but he who ignores reproof goes astray.


(The Message)
The road to life is a disciplined life; ignore correction and you're lost for good.


(Amplified Bible)
He who heeds instruction and correction is [not only himself] in the way of life [but also] is a way of life for others. And he who neglects or refuses reproof [not only himself] goes astray [but also] causes to err and is a path toward ruin for others.


(New Living Translation)
People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray.


(King James Version)
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.


(English Standard Version)
Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.


(Contemporary English Version)
Accept correction, and you will find life; reject correction, and you will miss the road.


(New King James Version)
He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray.


(New Century Version)
Whoever accepts correction is on the way to life, but whoever ignores correction will lead others away from life.


(21st Century King James Version)
He that keepeth instruction is in the way of life, but he that refuseth reproof erreth.


(Darby Translation)
Keeping instruction is the path to life; but he that forsaketh reproof goeth astray.


(Holman Christian Standard Bible)
The one who follows instruction is on the path to life, but the one who rejects correction goes astray.


(New International Reader's Version)
Anyone who pays attention to his training is on his way to life. But anyone who refuses to be corrected leads others down the wrong path.
