    2Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

    7If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

    10For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but he for our benefit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
