Colossians 3:21 Douay-Rheims

Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

(Eph 6:4.) It is a different Greek verb, therefore translate here, "irritate not." By perpetual fault-finding "children" are "discouraged" or "disheartened." A broken-down spirit is fatal to youth [BENGEL].
