Hebrews 12:4-6
New King James Version
4 (A)You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
(B)“My son, do not despise the [a]chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For (C)whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”

Hebrews 12:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your[a] blood as you[b] struggle against sin. 5 And have you completely forgotten the exhortation which instructs you as sons?
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
or give up when you are corrected by him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one whom he loves,
and punishes every son whom he accepts.”[c]
