^{7 Ref} It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom `his' father chasteneth not?

^{8 Ref} But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

^{9 Ref} Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

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

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

^{9 Ref} Furthermore, 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?

^{7 Ref} It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

^{8 Ref} But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

^{9 Ref} And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?
