Hebrews 12:3-12

3For 1consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary 23and lose heart. 44You have not yet resisted 56to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; 5and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, “7My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, Nor 8faint when you are punished by Him;69For 10whom the Lord loves He disciplines, And He punishes every son whom He accepts.” 7It is for discipline that you endure; 11God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8But if you are without discipline, 12of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9Furthermore, we had 13earthly fathers to discipline us, and we 14respected them; shall we not much more be subject to 15the Father of 16spirits, and 17live? 10For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, 18so that we may share His holiness. 1119For the moment, all discipline seems not to be pleasant, but painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterward it yields the 20peaceful fruit of righteousness.

12Therefore, 2122strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,
