"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."
— Hebrews 12:10, World English 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 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.”
It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn't discipline?
But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.
Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
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.
All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
