 6for whom Jehovah loveth, he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
 7For chastisement ye are enduring: God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son [is he] whom a father chasteneth not?
 8But if ye are apart from chastisement of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.
