  • Heb 12:5-9 : 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not take lightly the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when you are reproved by Him." 6 For the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastises every son He accepts. 7 If you endure discipline, God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! 10 Our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few days as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
