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?
10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, athat we may be partakers of His holiness.
11 Now no1 chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields athe peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Renew Your Spiritual Vitality
12 Therefore astrengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14 aPursue peace with all people, and holiness, bwithout which no one will see the Lord:
15 looking carefully lest anyone afall short of the grace of God; lest any broot of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;
16 lest there be any afornicator or profane person like Esau, bwho for one morsel of food sold his birthright.
17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was arejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.
