| 12:4 |
For you have not yet resisted unto blood, while striving against sin. |
| 12:5 |
And you have forgotten the consolation which speaks to you like sons, פִּתגָם: “My son, do not be willing to neglect the discipline of the Lord. Neither should you become weary, while being rebuked by him.” |
| 12:6 |
For whomever the Lord loves, he chastises. And every son whom he accepts, he scourges. |
| 12:7 |
Persevere in discipline. God presents you to himself as sons. But what son is there, whom his father does not correct? |
| 12:8 |
But if you are without that discipline in which all have become sharers, then you are of adultery, and you are not sons. |
| 12:9 |
לאחר מכן, גַם, we have certainly had the fathers of our flesh as instructors, and we reverenced them. Should we not obey the Father of spirits all the more, and so live? |
| 12:10 |
ואכן, for a few days and according to their own wishes, they instructed us. But he does so to our benefit, so that we may receive his sanctification. |
| 12:11 |
Now every discipline, in the present time, does not seem a gladness, כמובן, but a grief. But afterwards, it will repay a most peaceful fruit of justice to those who become trained in it. |
| 12:12 |
בגלל זה, lift up your lazy hands and your lax knees, |
| 12:13 |
and straighten the path of your feet, so that no one, being lame, may wander astray, but instead may be healed. |
| 12:14 |
Pursue peace with everyone. Pursue sanctity, without which no one shall see God. |
| 12:15 |
Be contemplative, lest anyone lack the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness spring up and impede you, and by it, many might be defiled, |
