Hebrews 12:7-12 If ye endure chastening, God treateth you as sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not chastise?

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ If ye endure chastening, God treateth you as sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not chastise? ⁸ But if ye be without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons. ⁹ Now if we had fathers of our flesh, who corrected us, and we gave them reverence; shall we not much more be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they indeed corrected us for a while, as seemed good to them; but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ Now no chastening seems for the present to be matter of joy but of grief: and yet afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those that are exercised thereby. ¹² Lift up therefore the hands that hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.
