Hebrews 12

5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons:

"My son, do not despise the discipline of the Lord,

nor be discouraged when you are reproved;

6 For whom the Lord loves He disciplines,

and scourges every son whom He receives."

7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed disciplined us for a few days, as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may partake of His holiness. 11 Now no discipline seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, later it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those having been trained by it.
