Hebrews 12:5-10

ACV(i) 5 And have ye forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not disparage the chastening of the Lord, nor become disheartened when punished by him? 6 For whom the Lord loves he chastens. And he whips every son whom he receives. 7 Because of chastening ye endure; God is treating you as with sons, for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 And if ye are without chastening, of which all have become participants, then ye are bastards, and not sons. 9 Besides, we indeed have had chastisers-the fathers of our flesh-and we were turned around. Shall we not much more be subordinate to the Father of the spirits, and we will live? 10 For those men indeed for a few days chastened us according to that which seemed good to them, but he for that which is advantageous, in order to be partakers of his holiness.
