Hebrews 12:7-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
7
It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom
his
father does not discipline?
8
But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9
Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected
them;
shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?
10
For they disciplined
us
for a short time as seemed best to them, but He
disciplines us
for
our
good, so that we may share His holiness.
11
For the moment, all discipline seems not to be pleasant, but painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
12
Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,
13
and make straight paths for your feet, so that
the limb
which is impaired may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
King James Version
Chapter 12
7
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9
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?
10
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11
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.
12
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 12
7
Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?
8
But if you are without discipline—which all receive —then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9
Furthermore, we had human fathers discipline us, and we respected them. Shouldn’t we submit even more to the Father of spirits and live?
10
For they disciplined us for a short time based on what seemed good to them, but he does it for our benefit, so that we can share his holiness.
11
No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12
Therefore, strengthen your tired hands and weakened knees,
13
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed instead.
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
7
As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father?
8
If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all.
9
Since we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever?
10
For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness.
11
No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening — it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
12
So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees.
13
Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.
English Standard Version
Chapter 12
7
It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8
If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9
Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
10
For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.
11
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12
Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
13
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
New International Version
Chapter 12
7
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
8
If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.
9
Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!
10
They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
11
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
12
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.
13
"Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
New King James Version
Chapter 12
7
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
8
But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
9
Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected
us,
and we paid
them
respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
10
For they indeed for a few days chastened
us
as seemed
best
to them, but He for
our
profit, that
we
may be partakers of His holiness.
11
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12
Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,
13
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
