ગુજરાતીહિબ્રૂઓને પત્ર ૧૨:૯
વળી પૃથ્વી પરના આપણા પિતાઓ આપણને શિક્ષા કરતા હતા, અને આપણે તેઓનું માન રાખતા હતા, તો આપણા આત્માઓના પિતાને એથી વિશેષ માન આપીને તેમને આધીન રહીને જીવીએ નહિ?
हिन्दीइब्रानियों १२:९
फिर जबकि हमारे शारीरिक पिता भी हमारी ताड़ना किया करते थे और हमने उनका आदर किया, तो क्या आत्माओं के पिता के और भी अधीन न रहें जिससे हम जीवित रहें।

In context

7It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

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

9Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

10For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

11All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
