Hebrews 12:3-5

CLV(i) 3 For take into account the One Who has endured such contradiction by sinners while among them, lest you should be faltering, fainting in your souls." 4 Not as yet unto blood did you repulse, when contending against sin." 5 And you have been oblivious of the entreaty which is arguing with you as with sons: My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord, Nor yet faint when being exposed by Him."
