English Standard Version
5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
(A)“My son, (B)do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For (C)the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. (D)God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, (E)in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
