Hebrews 12:4-8
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.”
7 (D)If[b] you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what (E)son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, (F)of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
