THE USEFULNESS OF GOD’S DISCIPLINE. THEODORET OF CYR: The inspired author knows the usefulness of discipline and understands that the Lord is exercising loving-kindness in applying it to human beings. This is the reason he asks to have a share in it. God exercises goodness in applying correction, and correction produces knowledge. Likewise the prophet Jeremiah begs, “Correct us, O Lord, but in just measure, not in anger, lest you make us few.” Thus, a sick person who longs for health goes in search of a cure through cutting by steel and burning.
