New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, "MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD , NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY 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 THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."
6
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
7
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
8
If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.
