What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness? |
What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness? |
What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod or with love and a spirit of gentleness? |
|
What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit? |
Now which do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of correction, or with love and in a spirit of gentleness? |
What are you desiring? With a stick shall I come to you or in a love that has at its impelling motive the benefits of the one loved, the exercise of which love demands self-sacrifice, and in the spirit of meekness? |
|
Now it’s up to you to choose! Shall I come to you ready to chastise you, or in love and gentleness? |
Which you do prefer? My coming to you with a club, or in a gentle, loving spirit? |
