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?… God often uses adversity as a purifier. The wintry snows that lie before my window here (at Saratoga) this morning will kill the vermin; so God sends wintry seasons upon His children to kill certain species of besetting sins. (T. L. Cuyler.) Parallel Verses KJV: If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
