My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord
Nor faint when you are corrected by Him
for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines
and scourges every son whom He receives
It is because of discipline
that you remain in His son
God deals with you as with sons
for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful,
but sorrowful
yet to those who have been trained by it
afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness
Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak
and the knees that are feeble
and make straight paths for your feet
Hebrews 12:5-13
