Hebrews 12:3-9
New King James Version (NKJV)

The Discipline of God
3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become
weary and discouraged in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving
against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:

“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”

7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a
father does not chasten?8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become
partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who
corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more
readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
