Hebrews 12:7-11 For the suffering you are enduring is for your discipline. God is dealing with you as He does with His children, for what child is not disciplined by his father?

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ [For the suffering] you are enduring [is] for your discipline. God is dealing with you as He does with [His] children, for what child is not disciplined by his father? ⁸ But if you do not receive [such] discipline, like all of us do, then you are illegitimate children and not true children. ⁹ Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them [for it]; should we not much rather submit to the Father of our spirits [i.e., God], so we can live [spiritually]? ¹⁰ For our human fathers disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them; but God disciplines us for our [spiritual] good, so that we may share in His holiness. ¹¹ No discipline seems pleasant, but painful, at the time [it is received], yet later on it produces a crop of peace and righteousness in [the lives of] those who have been trained by it.
