Hebrews 12:4

Fatherly Discipline

³ For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart. ⁴ In struggling against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. ⁵ And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

My son, do not take the Lord’s discipline lightly
or faint when you are reproved by Him,

Shed Blood
