Hebrews 12:11

Webster's Bible (1833)

All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.

    2looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

    3For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don't grow weary, fainting in your souls.

    4You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;

    5and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by him;

    6For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, And scourges every son whom he receives."

    7It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline?

    8But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

    9Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

    10For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
