5 And have ye forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not disparage the chastening of Lord, nor become disheartened when punished by him?

6 For whom Lord loves he chastens. And he whips every son whom he receives.

7 Because of chastening ye endure; God is treating you as with sons, for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

8 And if ye are without chastening, of which all have become participants, then ye are bastards, and not sons.

9 Besides, we indeed have had chastisers--the fathers of our flesh--and we were turned around. Shall we not much more be subordinate to the Father of the spirits, and we will live?
