Hebrews 12:6-8

LITV(i) 6 For whom the Lord loves, He disciplines, and whips every son whom He receives." Prov. 3:11, 12 7 If you endure discipline, God is dealing with you as with sons; for who is the son whom a father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become sharers, then you are bastards, and not sons.
