Hebrews 12:9-11

1. 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?

2. 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.

3. 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.
