Hebrews 12:4-6
New Living Translation
4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
5 And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children?[a] He said,
“My child,[b] don’t make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and don’t give up when he corrects you.
6 For the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.”[c]
Hebrews 12:4-6
International Standard Version
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]
