The Father’s Discipline
4 (A)You have not yet resisted [a](B)to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“(C)My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the [b]Lord,
Nor (D)faint when you are reproved by Him;
6 (E)For those (F)whom the [c]Lord loves He disciplines,
And He flogs every son whom He receives.”

4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your[a] blood. 5 You have forgotten the encouragement that is addressed to you as sons:
“My son, do not think lightly of the Lord’s[b] discipline
or give up when you are corrected by him.
6 For the Lord[c] disciplines the one he loves,
and he punishes[d] every son he accepts.”[e]
