Hebrews 12

5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

"My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord,

and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.

6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves,

and He chastises every son He receives."*12:6 Literally and He flogs every son He receives; Proverbs 3:11–12 (see also LXX)

7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8 If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9 Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
