4Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.Select Hebrews 12:4
5And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:Select Hebrews 12:5
6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.Select Hebrews 12:6
7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?Select Hebrews 12:7
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.Select Hebrews 12:8
9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?Select Hebrews 12:9
10For 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.Select Hebrews 12:10
11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.Select Hebrews 12:11
12Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;Select Hebrews 12:12
13And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.Select Hebrews 12:13
