5 And have ye forgotten the exhortation that reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not disparage the chastening of Lord, nor become disheartened when punished by him?6 For whom Lord loves he chastens. And he whips every son whom he receives.7 Because of chastening ye endure; God is treating you as with sons, for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?8 And if ye are without chastening, of which all have become participants, then ye are bastards, and not sons.9 Besides, we indeed have had chastisers--the fathers of our flesh--and we were turned around. Shall we not much more be subordinate to the Father of the spirits, and we will live?
