bind, chasten, chastise, correct, instruct, punish, reform, reprove, sore, teach
Concise Bible Dictionary:
This is in scripture mostly linked with love and sonship, and implies “instruction” and “discipline.” He that loveth chasteneth (Prov. 13:24; Deut. 8:5; Heb. 12:5-11; Rev. 3:19). “Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest” (Psa. 94:12). The chastening at the time does not seem to be joyous but grievous, yet afterward it yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness to those exercised thereby (Heb. 12:11). John 15:2 shows that a Christian may be chastened of the Father that he may bring forth more fruit.
