Hebrews 12:6-7

Expanded Bible

⁶[^LFor; Because] The Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he ·punishes [chastises; severely disciplines] everyone he accepts as his child [Prov. 3:11–12].”

⁷·So hold on through your sufferings, because they are like a father’s discipline [^LPersevere in discipline]. God is treating you as ·children [or sons]. ·All children are [^LFor what child/son is not…?] disciplined by their fathers.
