Hebrews 12:7-11

7It is for discipline that you endure. God is treating you as sons—for what son does a father not discipline?

8But if you are without discipline—something all have come to share—then you are illegitimate and not sons.

9Besides, we are used to having human fathers as instructors—and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

10Indeed, for a short time they disciplined us as seemed best to them; but He does so for our benefit, so that we may share in His holiness.

11Now all discipline seems painful at the moment—not joyful. But later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
