Hebrews 12:8
“But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.”
Verse in context — Hebrews 12
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.
9
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?
10
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.
