Bible: Heb. 12:4-8
12:4 You have not yet resisted to the point of bloodshed 1 in your struggle against sin. 12:5 And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons?
“My son, do not scorn 2 the Lord’s discipline
or give up when he corrects 3 you.
12:6 “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.” 4
12:7 Endure your suffering 5 as discipline; 6 God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? 12:8 But if you do not experience discipline, 7 something all sons 8 have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.
