Hebrews 12:11 in context

  1. 9Furthermore, 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?
  2. 10For 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.
  3. 11All 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 trained by it.
  4. 12Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
  5. 13and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
