Hebrews 12:6-8

New Living Translation

⁶For the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.”^[a]

⁷As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? ⁸If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all.
