Hebrews 12:7 in Context — Hebrews 12

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?

8 Mas si estáis fuera del castigo, del cual todos han sido hechos participantes, luego sois bastardos, y no hijos.
