Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 12

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 12:10
  
  so that we may partake of his holiness: Christians partake of God’s holiness by striving to be holy, or clean and upright, as he is. (1Pe 1:15, 16; see Glossary, “Holy; Holiness.”) Thus, Jehovah’s discipline is superior to that given by parents because his discipline ultimately leads to better results.—2Co 7:1 and study note.
