Hebrews 12:4-6
New International Reader's Version

God Trains His Children

4 You struggle against sin. But you have not yet fought to the point of spilling your blood. 5 Have you completely forgotten this word of hope? It speaks to you as a father to his children. It says,

“My son, think of the Lord’s training as important.
    Do not lose hope when he corrects you.
6 The Lord trains the one he loves.
    He corrects everyone he accepts as his son.” (Proverbs 3:11,12)

Hebrews 12:4-6
New International Version

God Disciplines His Children

4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.(A) 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not lose heart(B) when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,(C)
    and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a](D)
