Hebrews 12:8 in Context — Hebrews 12

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.

9 Por otra parte, tuvimos por castigadores á los padres de nuestra carne, y los reverenciábamos, ¿por qué no obedeceremos mucho mejor al Padre de los espíritus, y viviremos?

10 Y aquéllos, á la verdad, por pocos días nos castigaban como á ellos les parecía, mas éste para lo que [nos] es provechoso, para que recibamos su santificación.
