“For your sake we are being killed all day long;
we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.”(A)
37 No, in all these things we are more than victorious through him who loved us.(B) 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,(C) 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

6 for the Lord disciplines those whom he loves

7 Endure trials for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as children, for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline?(B) 8 If you do not have that discipline in which all children share, then you are illegitimate and not his children.(C) 9 Moreover, we had human parents to discipline us, and we respected them. Should we not be even more willing to be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share his holiness.(D) 11 Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.(E)

7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children.(C) For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline(D)—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits(E) and live!(F) 10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.(G) 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace(H) for those who have been trained by it.
12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.(I)
