And ye have totally forgotten the entreaty which is spoken to you as to sons, My son, neglect not the instruction of the Lord, nor be enervated being rebuked by him: For whom the Lord loves he corrects, and he chastises every son which he receives. If ye endure correction, God treats you as sons; for who is the son which the father corrects not?
