Hebrews 12:9-11 Furthermore, we have had earthly fathers who corrected us, and we gave them respect: shall we not much more be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Furthermore, we have had earthly fathers who corrected us, and we gave them respect: shall we not much more be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them; but he disciplines us for our good, that we might be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ At the time, no discipline seems to be joyful, but painful: nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness for those who have been trained by it.
