Hebrews 12:5-11

5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?

^a“My son, ^bdo not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For ^cthe Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. ^dGod is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, ^ein which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to ^fthe Father of spirits ^gand live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, ^hthat we may share his holiness. 11 ⁱFor the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields ^jthe peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Revelation of John 3:19

19 ^kThose whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
