In context
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
