Hebrews 12:10-12

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁰ Our fathers on earth punished us for a short time the way they wanted to. But God punishes us the way it is good for us. He is holy and good, so he wants us to become holy also.

¹¹ At the time a person is punished, he is not glad. He is sad. But after it is over, there is peace. Then those who are trained by it do what is right.

¹² So lift up your hands that are hanging down. Make your weak knees strong.
