Hebrews 12:11 in Context — Hebrews 12
9 D’ailleurs, puisque nos pères selon la chair nous ont châtiés, et que nous les avons respectés, ne devons-nous pas à bien plus forte raison nous soumettre au Père des esprits, pour avoir la vie?
10 Nos pères nous châtiaient pour peu de jours, comme ils le trouvaient bon; mais Dieu nous châtie pour notre bien, afin que nous participions à sa sainteté.
11 Il est vrai que tout châtiment semble d’abord un sujet de tristesse, et non de joie; mais il produit plus tard pour ceux qui ont été ainsi exercés un fruit paisible de justice.
12 Fortifiez donc vos mains languissantes et vos genoux affaiblis;
13 et suivez avec vos pieds des voies droites, afin que ce qui est boiteux ne dévie pas, mais plutôt se raffermisse.
