Hebrews 12:6
“For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.”
Verse in context — Hebrews 12
4
You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;
5
and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, don't take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
6
For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
7
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?
8
But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.
