However, the concept of physical punishment and its visible effects can be inferred from various passages that discuss discipline, suffering, and the consequences of sin.<br><br><b>Biblical Context of Physical Punishment</b><br><br>In the ancient Near Eastern context, physical discipline was a common practice, both in familial and judicial settings. The Bible reflects this cultural norm, particularly in the context of parental discipline and divine chastisement.<br><br><b>Parental Discipline</b><br><br>Proverbs, a book rich in wisdom literature, frequently addresses the theme of discipline. <a href="/proverbs/13-24.htm">Proverbs 13:24</a> states, "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently." This verse suggests that physical discipline, symbolized by the "rod," is an expression of love and concern for a child's moral and spiritual development. While the text does not explicitly mention welts, the implication of physical correction could result in such marks.<br><br><a href="/proverbs/23-13.htm">Proverbs 23:13-14</a> further reinforces this idea: "Do not withhold discipline from a child; although you strike him with a rod, he will not die. Strike him with a rod, and you will deliver his soul from Sheol." Here, the emphasis is on the corrective and life-preserving purpose of discipline, rather than the physical marks it may leave.<br><br><b>Divine Chastisement</b><br><br>The Bible also uses the imagery of physical punishment to describe God's discipline of His people. <a href="/hebrews/12-6.htm">Hebrews 12:6</a> states, "For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives." The term "chastises" can imply a form of correction that, while not necessarily physical, is intended to produce spiritual growth and righteousness.<br><br>In the Old Testament, the Israelites experienced divine chastisement in various forms, including physical suffering, as a consequence of their disobedience. <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a> outlines the blessings for obedience and the curses for disobedience, which include physical afflictions as a form of divine judgment.<br><br><b>Suffering and Marks of Persecution</b><br><br>The New Testament also addresses the concept of physical suffering, particularly in the context of persecution for faith. The Apostle Paul, in <a href="/galatians/6-17.htm">Galatians 6:17</a> , states, "From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus." While Paul does not specify the nature of these marks, they likely refer to the physical scars and welts from beatings and stonings he endured for the sake of the Gospel.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Spiritual Lessons</b><br><br>While the Bible does not explicitly mention welts, the physical marks resulting from discipline or persecution serve as powerful symbols of deeper spiritual truths. They remind believers of the seriousness of sin, the necessity of correction, and the cost of discipleship. The visible signs of suffering, whether from divine chastisement or persecution, point to the transformative work of God in the life of a believer, shaping them into the image of Christ.<br><br>In summary, while the term "welts" is not directly found in Scripture, the concept is woven into the biblical narrative through the themes of discipline, suffering, and spiritual growth. These physical manifestations serve as tangible reminders of the spiritual realities that underpin the life of faith.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/2250.htm"><span class="l">2250. chabburah -- a stripe, blow</span></a><br><b>...</b> Word Origin from chabar Definition a stripe, blow NASB Word Usage bruise (2),<br> scourging (1), striking (1), stripes (1), <b>welts</b> (1), wounds (1). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/2250.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/pamphilius/church_history/chapter_xxviii_those_who_first_advanced.htm"><span class="l">Those who First Advanced the Heresy of Artemon; their Manner of <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> And though he used much supplication, and showed the <b>welts</b> of the stripes which<br> he had received, yet scarcely was he taken back into communion.". 13. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../pamphilius/church history/chapter xxviii those who first advanced.htm</font><p><a href="/library/newton/messiah_vol_1/sermon_xix_messiah_suffering_and.htm"><span class="l">Messiah Suffering and Wounded for Us</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Three great wounds are ours, guilt, sin, and sorrow; but by contemplating His <b>welts</b><br> or scars, with an enlightened eye, and by rightly understanding who was <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../newton/messiah vol 1/sermon xix messiah suffering and.htm</font><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/w/welts.htm"><span class="l"><b>Welts</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b><b>Welts</b> (1 Occurrence).
