Hebrews 12:6-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 For the one whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He whips[a] every son whom He accepts” [Prov 3:11-12].
God Is Dealing With You As Sons
7 You are enduring[b] [your trials] for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers[c], then you are illegitimate[d] children and not sons.
