Hebrews 12:7-13

Do not give up when you are punished. God is treating you like sons. Is there a son who has never been punished by his father?

You are punished like the other children in the family. If you are not, you do not belong to the family as the other children do.

And what is more, our fathers on earth punished us and we respected them. We should obey even more the Father of our spirits. If we do, we will live.

10 Our fathers on earth punished us for a short time the way they wanted to. But God punishes us the way it is good for us. He is holy and good, so he wants us to become holy also.

11 At the time a person is punished, he is not glad. He is sad. But after it is over, there is peace. Then those who are trained by it do what is right.

12 So lift up your hands that are hanging down. Make your weak knees strong.

13 Walk straight ahead. Then weak feet will not get worse, but will be made well.
