Hebrews 12

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

*Job 5:17; Prov. 3:11, 12"My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,

Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;

6 For *Ps. 94:12; Rev. 3:19whom the Lord loves He chastens,

And scourges every son whom He receives."

7 *Deut. 8:5; 2 Sam. 7:14If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what *Prov. 13:24; 19:18; 23:13son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, *1 Pet. 5:9of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to *(Job 12:10)the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, *Lev. 11:44that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields *Is. 32:17; 2 Tim. 4:8; James 3:17, 18the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
