Bible Verses About Adoption: Subjects saints to the fatherly discipline of God

Think deeply about it: ADONAI was disciplining you, just as a man disciplines his child.

I will be a father for him, and he will be a son for me. If he does something wrong, I will punish him with a rod and blows, just as everyone gets punished;

My son, don't despise ADONAI's discipline or resent his reproof;

for ADONAI corrects those he loves like a father who delights in his son.

Also you have forgotten the counsel which speaks with you as sons: “My son, don’t despise the discipline of Adonai or become despondent when he corrects you.

For Adonai disciplines those he loves and whips everyone he accepts as a son.”

Regard your endurance as discipline; God is dealing with you as sons. For what son goes undisciplined by his father?

All legitimate sons undergo discipline; so if you don’t, you’re a mamzer and not a son!

Furthermore, we had physical fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them; how much more should we submit to our spiritual Father and live!

For they disciplined us only for a short time and only as best they could; but he disciplines us in a way that provides genuine benefit to us and enables us to share in his holiness.

Now, all discipline, while it is happening, does indeed seem painful, not enjoyable; but for those who have been trained by it, it later produces its peaceful fruit, which is righteousness.
