Hebrews 12:9-11 ▼

9 Besides this, we have had our earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them. Should we not [then] submit all the more to the Father of spirits and live?

10 They disciplined us for a short time as seemed right to them, but he does so for our benefit, in order that we may share his holiness.

11 At the time, all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain, yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it.
