Hebrews 12:5 in Context — Hebrews 12

3 Reducid pues á vuestro pensamiento á aquel que sufrió tal contradicción de pecadores contra sí mismo, porque no os fatiguéis en vuestros ánimos desmayando.

4 Que aun no habéis resistido hasta la sangre, combatiendo contra el pecado:

5 Y estáis ya olvidados de la exhortación que como con hijos habla con vosotros, [diciendo]: Hijo mío, no menosprecies el castigo del Señor, ni desmayes cuando eres de él reprendido.

6 Porque el Señor al que ama castiga, y azota á cualquiera que recibe por hijo.

7 Si sufrís el castigo, Dios se os presenta como á hijos; porque ¿qué hijo es [aquel] á quien el padre no castiga?
