Hebrews 12:4-6
Worldwide English (New Testament)

4 You have been fighting against bad people. But you have not been hurt very much.

5 You have forgotten the words spoken to you as sons. `My son, when the Lord punishes you, do not think it is a little thing. Do not give up when he tells you that you do wrong.

6 The Lord punishes the person he loves. And he beats every son he takes into his family.'

Hebrews 12:4-6
New International Version

God Disciplines His Children

4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.(A) 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not lose heart(B) when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,(C)
    and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a](D)
