Hebrews 12:6-11

Modern English Version

⁷ Endure discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? ⁸ If you are without discipline, of which everyone has partaken, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. ⁹ Furthermore, we have had human fathers, and they corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? ¹⁰ For they indeed disciplined us for a short time according to their own judgment, but He does so for our profit, that we may partake of His holiness. ¹¹ Now no discipline seems to be joyful at the time, but grievous. Yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness in those who have been trained by it.
