Hebrews 12:4-11
41You have not yetG3768 resistedG478 23to the pointG3360 of shedding bloodG129 in your strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266; 5and you have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 is addressedG1256 to you as sonsG5207, “4My sonG5207, do not regardG3643 lightlyG3643 the disciplineG3809 of the LordG2962, NorG3366 5faintG1590 when you are punishedG1651 by Him;66For 7whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovesG25 He disciplinesG3811, And He punishesG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 He acceptsG3858.” 7It is for disciplineG3809 that you endureG5278; 8GodG2316 dealsG4374 with you as with sonsG5207; for whatG5101 sonG5207 is there whomG3739 his fatherG3962 does not disciplineG3811? 8But ifG1487 you are withoutG5565 disciplineG3809, 9of whichG3739 allG3956 have becomeG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 you are illegitimateG3541 childrenG3541 and not sonsG5207. 9FurthermoreG1534, we hadG2192 10earthlyG4561 fathersG3962 to disciplineG3810 us, and we 11respectedG1788 them; shall we not muchG4183 moreG3123 beG5293 subjectG5293 to 12the FatherG3962 of 13spiritsG4151, and 14liveG2198? 10For they disciplinedG3811 us for a shortG3641 timeG2250 as seemedG1380 bestG1380 to them, but He disciplines us for our goodG4851, 15soG1519 thatG1519 we may shareG3335 His holinessG41. 1116For the momentG3918, allG3956 disciplineG3809 seemsG1380 not to be pleasantG5479, but painfulG3077; yetG1161 to thoseG3588 who have been trainedG1128 by it, afterwardG5305 it yieldsG591 the 17peacefulG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343.
