4 For you have not yet resisted unto blood, while striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the consolation which speaks to you like sons, saying: 'My son, do not be willing to neglect the discipline of the Lord. Neither should you become weary, while being rebuked by him.'
6 For whomever the Lord loves, he chastises. And every son whom he accepts, he scourges.
7 Persevere in discipline. God presents you to himself as sons. But what son is there, whom his father does not correct?
8 But if you are without that discipline in which all have become sharers, then you are of adultery, and you are not sons.
