Psalm 119:67
New King James Version
67 Before I was (A)afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
Psalm 119:71
New King James Version
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
Hebrews 12:9-11
New King James Version
9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to (A)the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, (B)that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no [a]chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields (C)the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
