Hebrews 12:7-8 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?… Fear not: these stripes are the tokens of His love. He is no son that is not beaten; yea, till he smart, and cry; if not, till he bleed. No parent corrects another's child; and he is no good parent that corrects not his own. O rod, worthy to be kissed, that assures us of His love, of our adoption. (Bp. Hall.) Parallel Verses KJV: If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
