5 You well know in your heart that just as a man corrects his son, Jehovah your God was correcting you.+

7 You need to endure as part of your discipline.* God is treating you as sons.+ For what son is not disciplined by his father?+

9 Furthermore, our human fathers* used to discipline us, and we gave them respect. Should we not more readily submit ourselves to the Father of our spiritual life and live?+
