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?10 For those men indeed for a few days chastened us according to that which seemed good to them, but he for that which is advantageous, in order to be partakers of his holiness.
