Hebrews 12:7 in context

  1. 5You 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;
  2. 6for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines,
    and chastises every son whom he receives.”
  3. 7It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
  4. 8But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
  5. 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?
