Hebrews 12
World English Bible (WEB)
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?
10 Ref For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11 Ref All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
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.
11 Ref All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, `even the fruit' of righteousness.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
7 Ref if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
8 Ref and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
9 Ref Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising `us', and we were reverencing `them'; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
10 Ref for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
11 Ref and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.
