Hebrews 12:8

⁶  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

⁷  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

⁸  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⁹  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
