Hebrews 12:7-11

Wesley(i) 7 If ye endure chastning, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom his father chastneth not? 8 But if ye are without chastning, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons. 9 Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we reverenced them: Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they, verily, for a few days chastned us as they thought good: but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now all chastning for the present is assuredly not joyous, but grievous; yet afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them that are exercised thereby.
