3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and your hearts give up.
4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed while striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons: “My son, do not despise the discipline from the Lord,nor grow weary when you are rebuked by Him;
6 for whom the Lord loves He disciplines,and scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 Endure discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
8 If you are without discipline, of which everyone has partaken, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers, and they corrected us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
