2looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;
3for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.
4Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving;
5and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,
6for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;`
7if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
8and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
