And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly or faint when you are reproved by Him,for the Lord disciplines the one He loves and punishes every son He receives.Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons.

Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but He does it for our benefit, so that we can share His holiness.

It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn Your statutes.
