Hebrews 12:8 in Context — Hebrews 12

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?

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.
