5 And ye have forgotten the comfort that speaketh to you as to sons, and saith, My son, do not thou despise the teaching [or the discipline] of the Lord, neither be thou made weary, the while thou art chastised of him.

6 For the Lord chastiseth him that he loveth; he beateth [or scourgeth] every son that he receiveth.

7 Abide ye still in chastising [or discipline]; God proffereth [or offereth] him to you as to sons. For what son is it, whom the father chastiseth not?

8 That if ye be out of chastising [or discipline], whose partners be ye all made, then ye be adulterers, and not sons.

9 And afterward we had fathers of our flesh, teachers, and we with reverence dreaded them. Whether not much more we shall obey to the Father of spirits, and we shall live?
