And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:5-11 KJV My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord ; neither be weary of his correction: for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Proverbs 3:11-12 KJV He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know ? The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord , and teachest him out of thy law; Psalm 94:10-12 KJVA The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Psalm 118:18 KJVA
