Hebrews 12:5-7
American Standard Version
5 and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons,
[a]My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord,
Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 [b]It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?

Hebrews 12:5-7
New International Version
5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart(A) when he rebukes you,
6 because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,(B)
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”[a](C)
7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children.(D) For what children are not disciplined by their father?
