Hebrews 12:5-10

5And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons? “My son, do not scorn the Lord’s discipline or give up when he corrects you.

6“For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.”

7Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?

8But if you do not experience discipline, something all sons have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.

9Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?

10For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.
