⁴ For the things which were formerly written, were written for our instruction, that we, through the patience and the comfort which the scriptures give, might have hope.

¹⁹ Brethren, if any among you should err from the truth, and one should turn him back, ²⁰ let him know that he who turns back a sinner from the error of his way, will save a soul from death, and cover a multitude of sins.

⁵ and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him. ⁶ For, whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son that he receives. ⁷ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons: for what son is there whose father chastens him not? ⁸ But if you are without chastisement, of which all are par takers, then are you bastards, and not sons. ⁹ So, then, 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 our spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they, indeed, for a few days, chastened us as they thought it good; but he chastens us for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ But no chastisement seems, at the time, to be a matter of joy, but of grief: yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.
