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.
9 Besides, we are used to having human fathers as instructors—and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
10 Indeed, for a short time they disciplined us as seemed best to them; but He does so for our benefit, so that we may share in His holiness.
