Hebrews 12:9-11 ▼

9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them for it. We should submit even more to the Father of our spirits and live, shouldn't we?

10 For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but God does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.

11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.
