“If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?”
Endure trials as discipline; God is treating you as children; for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline? — the rhetorical question affirms the universal pattern: discipline (paideia) characterizes parental love. Endurance (hypomeno) of trials proves divine adoption.
