3. Think about Jesus, who endured opposition from sinners, so that you don’t become tired and give up.
4. You struggle against sin, but your struggles haven’t killed you.
5. You have forgotten the encouraging words that God speaks to you as his children:“My child, pay attention when the Lord disciplines you.Don’t give up when he corrects you.
6. The Lord disciplines everyone he loves.He severely disciplines everyone he accepts as his child.”
7. Endure your discipline. God corrects you as a father corrects his children. All children are disciplined by their fathers.
8. If you aren’t disciplined like the other children, you aren’t part of the family.
9. On earth we have fathers who disciplined us, and we respect them. Shouldn’t we place ourselves under the authority of God, the father of spirits, so that we will live?
