NKJV Scripture Verification Register

Purpose: This register verifies the Scripture references and Scripture-like quotations used in covenant_parenting_bryan_hickman_revised.

Interpretive status: The parenting manuscript is an interpretation and synthesis of Bryan Hickman's voice recordings, not a verified verbatim transcript. Bryan Hickman's review is pending. The Scripture comparison below is also an editorial working document for his review; it does not imply that Bryan approved any wording, application, or theological conclusion.

Method: Explicit Bible references were enumerated from the revised draft and compared with the New King James Version (NKJV) text retrieved from the linked BibleGateway passage pages on 2026-08-14. Existing source renderings are not silently replaced here. Each entry identifies whether the wording in the manuscript is exact, partial, interpretive, or a probable allusion.

NKJV attribution: Scripture taken from the New King James Version®. Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. All rights reserved. The linked BibleGateway pages identify the translation as NKJV and provide the text used for this comparison.

Verified NKJV reference text

1 Timothy 1:5

Draft use: The goal of instruction and the formation of love, a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith.

NKJV text:

Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

Comparison: The draft says, “The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.” This is a source rendering or paraphrase, not verbatim NKJV.

Source: [1]

Proverbs 14:26

Draft use: Reverent fear of the Lord, confidence, and refuge for children.

NKJV text:

In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, And His children will have a place of refuge.

Comparison: The draft expands “the fear of the Lord” to “the reverent fear of the Lord” and says that children “will always have a place of refuge.” Retain as source wording unless Bryan approves an editorial replacement with the NKJV wording.

Source: [2]

Matthew 7:13

Draft use: The narrow path versus the broad way in the discussion of redemptive correction.

NKJV text:

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Comparison: The draft says, “Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.” The meaning is similar, but the wording is not verbatim NKJV.

Source: [3]

Acts 13:36

Draft use: David serving his own generation and the multi-generational vision.

NKJV text:

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

Comparison: The draft says that David “served God's purposes in his own generation” and “was laid among his fathers and underwent decay.” This is an interpretive rendering, not verbatim NKJV.

Source: [4]

Proverbs 22:6

Draft use: Training a child in the way he should go.

NKJV text:

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Comparison: The draft says, “Train up a child in the way that he should go, and even when he grows old, he will not abandon it.” This is close in meaning but not verbatim NKJV.

Source: [5]

Romans 12:2

Draft use: Renewal of the mind and refusing conformity to the world.

NKJV text:

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Comparison: The draft is a rearranged or interpretive rendering of the verse and should not be presented as a verbatim NKJV quotation without revision.

Source: [6]

Proverbs 22:15

Draft use: Foolishness in a child's heart and correction.

NKJV text:

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

Comparison: The draft says, “The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.” The reference is correct, but the wording differs from NKJV. This passage requires separate safeguarding, developmental, theological, and pastoral review; NKJV verification does not constitute approval of an application.

Source: [7]

Proverbs 13:24

Draft use: One of the correction-related Proverbs listed in Chapter 2.

NKJV text:

He who spares his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.

Comparison: Verify the quotation against this wording before publication. Any application to physical discipline must remain clearly separated from translation verification and undergo safeguarding review.

Source: [8]

Proverbs 19:18

Draft use: One of the correction-related Proverbs listed in Chapter 2.

NKJV text:

Chasten your son while there is hope, And do not set your heart on his destruction.

Comparison: Verify the quotation against this wording before publication. The verse must not be presented as automatic approval of a discipline method.

Source: [9]

Proverbs 29:15

Draft use: One of the correction-related Proverbs listed in Chapter 2.

NKJV text:

The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

Comparison: Verify the quotation against this wording before publication. The verse's presence does not resolve developmental, legal, safeguarding, or pastoral questions about application.

Source: [10]

Proverbs 29:17

Draft use: One of the correction-related Proverbs listed in Chapter 2.

NKJV text:

Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

Comparison: Verify the quotation against this wording before publication and distinguish the biblical reference from the source teaching's proposed method of correction.

Source: [11]

Ephesians 4:26

Draft use: The “do not let the sun go down” principle in the marriage discussion and Calendar Day 1.

NKJV text:

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

Comparison: The draft uses only the latter portion, “...do not let the sun go down on your anger.” It is a partial quotation and changes “wrath” to “anger.” If retained, identify it as a partial source rendering or replace it with the complete NKJV quotation after Bryan's review.

Source: [12]

Ephesians 6:4

Draft use: Fathers, anger/provocation, and training and instruction of children.

NKJV text:

And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Comparison: The draft says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” This is interpretive wording, not verbatim NKJV.

Source: [13]

Probable allusions requiring Bryan's confirmation

Matthew 7:7

Draft use: “Buscad y hallaréis (Seek and you will find)” in Chapter 3 and “Seek, and you will find” in Calendar Day 2.

NKJV text:

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Status: Matthew 7:7 is the probable source, but the source material does not state the reference. Confirm the intended reference with Bryan before adding it to the body as a Scripture citation.

Source: [14]

John 5:19

Draft use: “I don't do anything but I see my father do it. I don't say anything but I hear my father say it.”

NKJV text:

Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

Status: John 5:19 is a probable allusion to the source teaching's wording, but the source material does not state the reference and the wording is not verbatim NKJV. Confirm with Bryan before attaching the reference or replacing the source quotation.

Source: [15]

Editorial actions still required

  1. Bryan should confirm whether the body should retain the source renderings, replace them with exact NKJV quotations, or show both side by side.
  2. Any replacement of source wording is an editorial change and must remain visible for Bryan's review.
  3. Add explicit NKJV labels to body quotations only after the wording has been reconciled with this register.
  4. Keep Scripture verification separate from safeguarding approval. In particular, the Proverbs passages and the manuscript's switch, rod, blanket-training, and correction-room material require independent safeguarding, developmental, legal, theological, and pastoral review.
  5. Confirm all probable allusions—especially Matthew 7:7 and John 5:19—with Bryan before treating them as intended references.
