Hebrews 12:7-11

7Ye endure for chastening, 1God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?

8But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced [them]; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

10For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness.

11But no chastening at the time seems to be [matter] of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields [the] peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it.
