Hebrews 12:7-9

7It is for discipline that you have to endure. aGod is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8If you are left without discipline, bin which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to cthe Father of spirits dand live?
