5 And you2f have forgotten the Exhortation (encouragement; counsel) which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise not youi the chastening of the Lord - Kurios, nor give up when youi are rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord - Kurios loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
7 If you2f endure chastening, God-The Father deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
8 But if you2f be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you2f 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 truly 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 seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
