5 And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not {the} chastening of {the} Lord, nor faint {when} reproved by him;

6 for whom {the} Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.

7 Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?

8 But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9 Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced {them}; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness.

11 But no chastening at the time seems to be {matter} of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields {the} peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it.
