3 Τεσσαρακοντα δυναται να μαστιγωση αυτον, ουχι περισσοτερον· μηποτε, εαν προσθεση να μαστιγωση αυτον επεκεινα τουτων με πολλας μαστιγωσεις, φανη ο αδελφος σου βδελυκτος εις τους οφθαλμους σου.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 3. The visitation of the evil and false shall be full and complete, but shall not be carried beyond what is necessary, lest good and truth should also be destroyed. [Note.— From this passage we may learn that no punishment is permitted by the Lord except what is necessary to restrain evil and develop good.]
