Hebrews
Hebrews 12:6–8
6For the Lord disciplines the one He loves,
and He chastises every son He receives.”b
7Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
