Hebrews 12:4-6

Amplified Bible

A Father’s Discipline

⁴You have not yet struggled to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; ⁵and you have ^[a]forgotten the divine word of encouragement which is addressed to you as sons,

“My son, do not make light of the discipline of the Lord,
And do not lose heart and give up when you are corrected by Him;
⁶
For the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He loves,
And He punishes every son whom He receives and welcomes [to His heart].”^(A)
