Hebrews 12:7 in Context — Hebrews 12
5 Et vous avez oublié l’exhortation qui vous est adressée comme à des fils: Mon fils, ne méprise pas le châtiment du Seigneur, et ne perds pas courage lorsqu’il te reprend;
6 car le Seigneur châtie celui qu’il aime, et il frappe de la verge tous ceux qu’il reconnaît pour ses fils.
7 Supportez le châtiment: c’est comme des fils que Dieu vous traite; car quel est le fils qu’un père ne châtie pas?
8 Mais si vous êtes exempts du châtiment auquel tous ont part, vous êtes donc des enfants illégitimes, et non des fils.
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?
