Hebrews 12:7 in Context — Hebrews 12

5 mas já vos esquecestes do encorajamento que ele fala convosco como a filhos: Meu filho, não desprezes a disciplina do Senhor, nem te canses de ser reprendido por ele;

7 Se suportais a disciplina, Deus vos trata como filhos; pois que filho há a quem o pai não discipline?

8 Mas se estais sem disciplina, da qual todos são feitos participantes, então sois ilegítimos, e não filhos.
