Hebrews 12:6 in context

Hebrews 12:3–9

3

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

4

You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

5

You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children,

“My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord,

nor faint when you are reproved by him;

6
Selected verse

for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines,

and chastises every son whom he receives.”

7

It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

8

But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.

9

Furthermore, 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?
