7 If you endure chastisement, God deals with you as his children. For what son is there whom his father does not chastise?8 But if you be without chastisement, of which all sons are partakers, certainly you are bastards, and not sons.9 Farther, we have had fathers of our flesh, who chastised us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live?10 For they, indeed, during a very few days, chastised us according to their pleasure; but he, for our advantage, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
