Hebrews 12:5

Contemporary English Version

⁵^(A) But you have forgotten that the Scriptures say to God's children,

“When the Lord punishes you,
don't make light of it,
and when he corrects you,
don't be discouraged.

Hebrews 12:5

New International Version

⁵And 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^(A) when he rebukes you,

⁶The Lord corrects the people
he loves
and disciplines those
he calls his own.”

⁶because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,^(A)
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”^[a]^(B)
