Hebrews 12
6 Ref For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
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?
10 Ref For they indeed for a few days chastened `us' as seemed good to them; but he for `our' profit, that `we' may be partakers of his holiness.
