Thematic Bible: Why the lord chastens people

If ye endure correction, God treats you as sons; for who is the son which the father corrects not? And if ye are without correction, of which all are partakers, then are ye spurious, not sons. Since we truly have fathers of our flesh instructors, and we were influenced: shall we not rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and we shall live? read more.
For they truly for a few days, according as it seemed to them, corrected; but he for profit, in order to partake in his holiness.

For if we examined ourselves, we should not be judged. And being judged, we are corrected of the Lord, lest we be condemned with the world.
