Hebrews 12:5-7
English Standard Version
5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
(A)“My son, (B)do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For (C)the Lord disciplines the one he loves,

Hebrews 12:11-14
English Standard Version
11 (A)For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields (B)the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore (C)lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and (D)make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint (E)but rather be healed. 14 (F)Strive for peace with everyone, and for the (G)holiness (H)without which no one will see the Lord.
