6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
6 Point your kids in the right direction - when they're old they won't be lost.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
6 Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 22:6
Commentary on Proverbs 22:6
(Read Proverbs 22:6)
Train children, not in the way they would go, that of their corrupt hearts, but in the way they should go; in which, if you love them, you would have them go. As soon as possible every child should be led to the knowledge of the Saviour.
