Hebrews 12:5-11 NLT And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said, My child, dont make light of the Lords discipline, and dont give up when he corrects you. [6] For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child. [7] As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? [8] If God doesnt discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. [9] Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldnt we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever? [10] For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But Gods discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. [11] No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening-its painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
