3 Consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and lose heart.
4 In struggling against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of bloodshed.
5 Have you forgotten the warning addressed to you as sons? “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of Adonai or lose heart when you are corrected by Him,
6 because Adonai disciplines the one He loves and punishes every son He accepts.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God is treating you as sons—for what son does a father not discipline?
8 But if you are without discipline—something all have come to share—then you are illegitimate and not sons.
