For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and whips every son whom He receives.

i1 [A Psalm of Asaph.] i0 par Truly God is good to Israel, to the pure of heart.

For all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.

If I had said, I will speak thus; behold, I would have deceived a generation of Your sons.

Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are experienced by your brethren in the world.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
