| Eph.6.4 |
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in
the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
|
| Heb.12.5 |
And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?--
"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose
courage when you are punished by him.
|
| Heb.12.6 |
For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son
whom he receives."
|
| Heb.12.7 |
It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as
sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
|
| Heb.12.8 |
If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated,
then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
|
| Heb.12.9 |
Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we
respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of
spirits and live?
|
| Heb.12.10 |
For they disciplined us for a short time at their pleasure, but he
disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.
|
| Heb.12.11 |
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later
it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been
trained by it.
