King James Version
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.(Hebrews 12:6)
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?(Hebrews 12:7)
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.(Hebrews 12:8)
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.(Hebrews 12:10)
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.(Hebrews 12:11)
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;(Hebrews 12:12)
