American King James Version
"For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. "
— Hebrews 12:10, American King James Version
“For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.”
“For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. ”
“For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.”
“For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.”
“And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification.”
“For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.”
“For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.”
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?
But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
For they truly for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them which are exercised thereby.
Why lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
