Hebrews 12:5-7
New Testament for Everyone

5 And perhaps you have forgotten the word of exhortation which speaks to you as God’s children:

My child, don’t make light of the Lord’s rebuke,
or grow weary when he takes issue with you;
6 for the Lord disciplines those whom he loves,
and chastises every child he welcomes.

7 You must be patient with discipline. God is dealing with you as his sons and daughters. What child is there that the parent doesn’t discipline?

Hebrews 12:5-7
New International Version

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(A) when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,(B)
    and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a](C)

7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children.(D) For what children are not disciplined by their father?

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
