King James Version with Apocrypha
"But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons."
— Hebrews 12:8, King James Version with Apocrypha
“But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.”
“But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. ”
“But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.”
“But if you do not experience discipline, something all sons have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons.”
“But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are made partakers, then are you bastards and not sons.”
“But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.”
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye 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 unto the Father of spirits, and live?
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.
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
