So ihr die Züchtigung erduldet, so erbietet sich euch Gott als Kindern; denn wo ist ein Sohn, den der Vater nicht züchtigt?
Si sufrís el castigo, Dios se os presenta como a hijos; porque ¿qué hijo es aquel a quien el padre no castiga?
Soporten la disciplina; Dios los trata como a hijos. Porque ¿qué hijo hay a quien su padre no discipline?
Supportez le châtiment: c'est comme des fils que Dieu vous traite; car quel est le fils qu'un père ne châtie pas?
Se voi sostenete il castigamento, Iddio si presenta a voi come a figliuoli; perciocchè, quale è il figliuolo, che il padre non castighi?
Se suportais a correção, Deus vos trata como filhos; porque, que filho há a quem o pai não corrija?
為了受管教,你們要忍受。上帝待你們如同待兒女。哪有兒女不被父親管教的呢?
