Hebrews:12:5-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ye have forgotten (
5769 )
the exhortation which speaketh (
5736 )
unto you as unto children ,
My son ,
despise not thou (
5720 )
the chastening of the Lord ,
nor faint (
5744 )
when thou art rebuked (
5746 )
of him :
*
For whom the Lord loveth (
5719 )
he chasteneth (
5719 ),
and scourgeth (
5719 )
every son whom he receiveth (
5736 ).
*
If ye endure (
5719 )
chastening ,
God dealeth (
5743 )
with you as with sons ;
for what son is he (
5748 )
whom the father chasteneth (
5719 )
not ?
*
But if ye be (
5748 )
without chastisement ,
whereof all are (
5754 )
partakers ,
then are ye (
5748 )
bastards ,
and not sons .
*
Furthermore we have had (
5707 )
fathers of our flesh which corrected us ,
and we gave them reverence (
5710 ):
shall we not much rather be in subjection (
5691 )
unto the Father of spirits ,
and live (
5692 )?
*
For they verily for a few days chastened (
5707 )
us after their own pleasure (
5723 );
but he for our profit (
5723 ),
that we might be partakers (
5629 )
of his holiness .
*
Now no chastening for the present (
5752 )
seemeth (
5719 )
to be (
5750 )
joyous ,
but grievous :
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth (
5719 )
the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised (
5772 )
thereby .
*
Wherefore lift up (
5657 )
the hands which hang down (
5772 ),
and the feeble (
5772 )
knees ;
