Hebrews 12:5, 6, 10 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. | New International Version (NIV)
