NET Bible
"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."
— Hebrews 12:10, NET Bible
“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.”
“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.”
Endure your suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?
But if you do not experience discipline, something all sons have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.
Besides, we have experienced discipline from our earthly fathers and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life?
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.
Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.
Therefore, strengthen your listless hands and your weak knees,
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but be healed.
