5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
5 你们又忘记了那劝你们好像劝儿子的话, 说: "我儿! 你不可轻看主的管教, 受责备的时候也不要灰心;
6 因为主所爱的, 他必管教, 他又鞭打所收纳的每一个儿子。"
7 为了接受管教, 你们要忍受, 因为 神待你们好像待儿子一样; 哪有儿子不受父亲管教的呢?
8 作儿子的都受过管教。如果你们没有受管教, 就是私生子, 不是儿子了。
9 还有, 肉身的父亲管教我们, 我们尚且敬重他们; 何况那万灵的父, 我们不是更要顺服他而得生吗?
10 肉身的父亲照着自己的意思管教我们, 只有短暂的日子; 唯有 神管教我们, 是为着我们的好处, 使我们在他的圣洁上有分。
11 但是一切管教, 在当时似乎不觉得快乐, 反觉得痛苦; 后来却为那些经过这种操练的人, 结出平安的果子来, 就是义。
