Hebrews 12:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]Consider therefore him that endureth such speaking against of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 [b]Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 [c]And ye have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh unto you as unto children, (A)My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him.

- Hebrews 12:3 An amplification taken of the circumstance of the person, and the things themselves, which he compareth betwixt themselves: for how great is Jesus in comparison of us, and how far more grievous things did he suffer than we?
- Hebrews 12:4 He taketh an argument of the profit which cometh to us by God’s chastisements, unless we be in fault. First of all because sin, or that rebellious wickedness of our flesh, is by this means turned.
- Hebrews 12:5 Secondly, because they are testimony of his fatherly good will toward us, insomuch that they show themselves to be bastards, which cannot abide to be chastened of God.
