[4] not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. [5] And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh as unto children, not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] ye endure chastening, God dealeth as with sons; for what son whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
