Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
