Hebrews 12:7-10

New King James Version

^7 (A)If^[a] you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what ^(B)son is there whom a father does not chasten? ⁸ But if you are without chastening, ^(C)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 ^(D)the Father of spirits and live? ¹⁰ For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, ^(E)that we may be partakers of His holiness.
