Hebrews 12:10 Context
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sonnes. 9Furthermore, wee haue had fathers of our flesh, which corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: shall we not much rather bee in subiection vnto the Father of Spirits, and liue? 10For they verily for a fewe dayes chastened vs after their owne pleasure, but hee for our profit, that we might bee partakers of his holinesse. 11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be ioyous, but grieuous: neuerthelesse, afterward it yeeldeth the peaceable fruite of righteousnesse, vnto them which are exercised thereby. 12Wherefore lift vp the handes which hang downe, and the feeble knees.
