Hebrews 12:5-9

Goodspeed(i) 5 and you have forgotten the challenge addressed to you as God's sons, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, Or give up when he corrects you. 6 For it is those whom the Lord loves that he disciplines, And he chastises every son that he acknowledges." 7 You must submit to it as discipline. God is dealing with you as his sons. For where is there a son whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you have none of that discipline which all sons undergo, you are illegitimate children, and not true sons. 9 When our earthly fathers disciplined us we treated them with respect; should we not far more submit to the Father of our spirits, and so have life?
