King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
5 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 of him:
5
And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
6
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
7
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
