CHASTENING OF THE LORD
Text: Hebrews 12:5-11
"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
[(scold, admonish, chide) convict, convince, tell a fault, reprove] of
him: 6. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he
receiveth. 7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for
what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8. But if ye be without
chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards (not being
sons), and not sons. 9. 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? 10. 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. 11. 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."
