7It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with sons, for what son is there whom his father doesn`t discipline? 8But if you are without discipline, whereof all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not sons. 9Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
