3. For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
4. You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.
5. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6. For whom the Lord loves He chastens,And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
