⁵ And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

³ Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.

¹⁶ For which cause we do not give way to weariness; but though our outer man is getting feebler, our inner man is made new day by day.

¹ For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

¹⁰ If you give way in the day of trouble, your strength is small.

¹⁴ He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all.

²⁵ For I have a fear and it comes on me, and my heart is greatly troubled.

²⁶ I have no peace, no quiet, and no rest; nothing but pain comes on me.

⁵ But now, if you only put your hand on his bone and his flesh, he will certainly be cursing you to your face.

¹¹ But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.
