8and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
9Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising [us], and we were reverencing [them]; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
10for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
11and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.
12Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;
13and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
14peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,
