“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:”
And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as children? 'My child, do not regard lightly the discipline (paideia) of the Lord, or lose heart when reproved by him' — the citation of Proverbs 3:11-12 interprets suffering as paternal discipline. Do not despise (oligoreō) the Lord's paideia; do not lose heart (eklyo) at correction. Suffering reveals God as loving father.
