Hebrews 12:9-15
9FurthermoreG1534G3303, we have all hadG2192 earthlyG1473G3588G4561 fathersG3962 who disciplinedG3810 us, andG2532 we respectedG1788 them. Should we notG3756 muchG4183 moreG1161G3123 submitG5293 to theG3588 FatherG3962 ofG3588 our spiritsG4151 andG2532 liveG2198?
Our fathers disciplinedG3811 us forG4314 a shortG3303G3588G3641 timeG2250 asG2596 theyG846 thought bestG1380, butG1161 God disciplines us forG1909 our goodG4851, so thatG1519 we may shareG3335 in HisG846 holinessG41. 11NoG3956G3756 disciplineG3809 seemsG1380 enjoyableG1510G5479 atG4314 theG3588 timeG3918, butG235 painfulG3077. Later onG5305, howeverG1161, it yieldsG591 a harvestG2590 of righteousnessG1343 and peaceG15161 to those whoG3588 have been trainedG1128 byG1223 itG846.
12ThereforeG1352 strengthenG461 your limpG3935 handsG5495 andG2532 weakG3886 kneesG1119.2 13MakeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 forG3588 yourG4771 feetG4228,3 so thatG2443 theG3588 lameG5560 may notG3361 be disabledG1624, butG1161 ratherG3123 healedG2390.
14PursueG1377 peaceG1515 withG3326 everyoneG3956, as well asG2532 holinessG38, withoutG5565 whichG3739 no oneG3762 will seeG3708 theG3588 LordG2962. 15See to it thatG1983 noG3361 oneG5100 falls shortG5302 ofG575 theG3588 graceG5485 of GodG2316, and that noG3361G5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG40884 springsG5453 upG507 to cause troubleG1776 andG2532 defileG3392 manyG4183.
