Hebrews 12:5-10

5And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or lose heart when you are reproved by him,

6for the Lord disciplines the one he loves and punishes every son he receives.

7Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?

8But if you are without discipline — which all receive  — then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

9Furthermore, we had human fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?

10For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but he does it for our benefit, so that we can share his holiness.
