^{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 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} 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?
