Hebrews 12:3-7
New International Version
3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary(A) and lose heart.
God Disciplines His Children
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.(B) 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart(C) when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,(D)
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a](E)
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children.(F) For what children are not disciplined by their father?
