Ye endure fork chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?

JND Translation Notes

k
Or "as," that is, as chastening, not as wrath. Some authorities have "if ye endure chastening."

W. Kelly Translation

Fora chastisement ye are enduring: God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son [is heb] whom a father chasteneth not?

WK Translation Notes

a
The T. R. which substitutes the conditional "if" (ei) for the preposition "for" (eis) is an unquestionable mistake, resting on few and late witnesses opposed to weight and antiquity, and due apparently to a presumed simplifying of the clause.
b
In some MSS. "is he" is not expressed.
