5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children,"My son, do not take lightly the chastening of the Lord,nor faint when you are reproved by him;

6 For whom the Lord loves, he chastens,and scourges every son whom he receives."

7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
