Psalms 94:12-13

Hebrews 12:5-11

5 You have forgotten the encouragement that is addressed to you as sons:Job 5:17; Prov 3:11

“My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline

or give up when you are corrected by him.

6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,Ps 94:12; 119:75; Prov 3:12; James 1:12; Rev 3:19

and he punishes ^{▼▼Or whips} every son he accepts.” ^{▼▼Prov 3:11-12}

7 What you endure is for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as sons. Is there a son whom his father does not discipline?Deut 8:5; 2Sam 7:14; Prov 13:24; 19:18; 23:13 8 Now if you are without any discipline, in which all sons share, then you are illegitimate and not his sons.Ps 73:1; 1Pet 5:9 9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who used to discipline us, and we respected them for it. We should even more submit to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?Num 16:22; 27:16; Job 12:10; Eccl 12:7; Isa 42:5; 57:16; Zech 12:1 10 For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but he does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.Lev 11:44; 19:2; 1Pet 1:15-16 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.James 3:18
