Hebrews 12:5-8

Do Not Grow Weary

⁵ And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
_f "My son, _g do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
⁶ For _h the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives."

⁷ It is for discipline that you have to endure. _i God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? ⁸ If you are left without discipline, _j in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
