Ibrani 11:33-38
Konteks11:33 Through faith they conquered kingdoms, administered justice, 1 gained what was promised, 2 shut the mouths of lions, 11:34 quenched raging fire, 3 escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength in weakness, 4 became mighty in battle, put foreign armies to flight, 11:35 and women received back their dead raised to life. 5 But others were tortured, not accepting release, to obtain resurrection to a better life. 6 11:36 And others experienced mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 11:37 They were stoned, sawed apart, 7 murdered with the sword; they went about in sheepskins and goatskins; they were destitute, afflicted, ill-treated 11:38 (the world was not worthy of them); they wandered in deserts and mountains and caves and openings in the earth.
Ibrani 12:5-10
Konteks12:5 And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons?
“My son, do not scorn 8 the Lord’s discipline
or give up when he corrects 9 you.
12:6 “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.” 10
12:7 Endure your suffering 11 as discipline; 12 God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? 12:8 But if you do not experience discipline, 13 something all sons 14 have shared in, then you are illegitimate and are not sons. 12:9 Besides, we have experienced discipline from 15 our earthly fathers 16 and we respected them; shall we not submit ourselves all the more to the Father of spirits and receive life? 17 12:10 For they disciplined us for a little while as seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit, that we may share his holiness.
