Hebrews 12:3-12

3For 1considerG357 Him who has enduredG5278 suchG5108 hostilityG485 by sinnersG268 againstG1519 HimselfG1438, soG2443 that you will not growG2577 wearyG2577 23and loseG1590 heartG5590. 44You have not yetG3768 resistedG478 56to the pointG3360 of shedding bloodG129 in your strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266; 5and you have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 is addressedG1256 to you as sonsG5207, “7My sonG5207, do not regardG3643 lightlyG3643 the disciplineG3809 of the LordG2962, NorG3366 8faintG1590 when you are reprovedG1651 by Him;69For those 10whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovesG25 He disciplinesG3811, And He scourgesG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 He receivesG3858.” 7It is for disciplineG3809 that you endureG5278; 11GodG2316 dealsG4374 with you as with sonsG5207; for whatG5101 sonG5207 is there whomG3739 his fatherG3962 does not disciplineG3811? 8But ifG1487 you are withoutG5565 disciplineG3809, 12of whichG3739 allG3956 have becomeG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 you are illegitimateG3541 childrenG3541 and not sonsG5207. 9FurthermoreG1534, we hadG2192 13earthlyG4561 fathersG3962 to disciplineG3810 us, and we 14respectedG1788 them; shall we not muchG4183 ratherG3123 be subjectG5293 to 15the FatherG3962 of 16spiritsG4151, and 17liveG2198? 10For they disciplinedG3811 us for a shortG3641 timeG2250 as seemedG1380 bestG1380 to them, but He disciplines us for our goodG4851, 18soG1519 that we may shareG3335 His holinessG41. 11AllG3956 disciplineG3809 19for the momentG3918 seemsG1380 not to be joyfulG5479, but sorrowfulG3077; yetG1161 to thoseG3588 who have been trainedG1128 by it, afterwardsG5305 it yieldsG591 the 20peacefulG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343.

12ThereforeG1352, 2122strengthenG461 the handsG5495 that are weakG3935 and the kneesG1119 that are feebleG3886,
