Hebrews 12:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 For the Lord disciplines the one whom he loves,
and punishes every son whom he accepts.”[a]
7 Endure it for discipline. God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom a father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, in which all legitimate sons[b] have become participants, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
