¹¹ 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.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

¹⁷ The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

¹⁸ Discipline your son, for there is hope; Don't be a willing party to his death.

¹⁰ There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way: Whoever hates reproof shall die.

¹⁶⁵ Those who love your law have great peace. Nothing causes them to stumble.

¹⁸ Yah has punished me severely, But he has not given me over to death.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and who can't cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

⁶ Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,

¹⁰ 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.

⁵ and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by him;

⁶ For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, And scourges every son whom he receives."

¹⁴ But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

⁷ But refuse profane and old wives' fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.

⁸ For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value for all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³ gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁷ for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

³ Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

⁴ and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:

⁵ and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

³² Then I will punish their sin with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes.
