Hebrews 12:5-8 and you have forgotten the encouragement which is addressed to you as sons: "My son, refrain from thinking lightly of the discipline the Lord inflicts, and giving up when you are corrected by Him.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ and you have forgotten the encouragement which is addressed to you as sons: "My son, refrain from thinking lightly of the discipline the Lord inflicts, and giving up when you are corrected by Him. ⁶ For He disciplines everyone He loves, and chastises every son whom He heartily receives." ⁷ You must submit to discipline. God is dealing with you as His sons. For who is the son that his father never disciplines? ⁸ Now if you are without any discipline, in which all true sons share, you are only illegitimate children and not true sons.
