Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Besides, have you forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's chastisement, neither faint when you are rebuked by him: ⁶ for whom the Lord loves he chastises, and scourges every son whom he receives." ⁷ If you endure chastisement, God deals with you as his children. For what son is there whom his father does not chastise? ⁸ But if you be without chastisement, of which all sons are partakers, certainly you are bastards, and not sons. ⁹ Farther, we have had fathers of our flesh, who chastised us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live?
