Hebrews 12:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ The Lord punishes the person he loves. And he beats every son he takes into his family.'

⁷ Do not give up when you are punished. God is treating you like sons. Is there a son who has never been punished by his father?

⁸ You are punished like the other children in the family. If you are not, you do not belong to the family as the other children do.
