4 aYou have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
a“My son, do not despise the1 chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
a“My son, do not despise the1 chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
7 aIf1 you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what bson is there whom a father does not chasten?
8 But if you are without chastening, aof which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to athe Father of spirits and live?
