Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
Context
7Vumilieni taabu kwa ajili ya kufunzwa adabu. Mungu anawatendea ninyi kama watoto wake, kwa maana ni mtoto yupi asiyeadibishwa na mzazi wake? 8Kama hakuna kuadibishwa (ambalo ni fungu la watoto wote), basi ninyi ni watoto wa haramu wala si watoto halali. 9Tena, sisi sote tunao baba wa kimwili, waliotuadibisha nasi tukawaheshimu kwa ajili ya hilo. Je, si inatupasa kujinyenyekeza zaidi kwa Baba wa roho zetu ili tuishi? 10Baba zetu walituadibisha kwa kitambo kidogo kama wao wenyewe walivyoona vyema, lakini Mungu hutuadibisha kwa faida yetu ili tupate kushiriki utakatifu wake. 11Kuadibishwa wakati wowote hakuonekani kuwa kitu cha kufurahisha bali chenye maumivu kinapotekelezwa. Lakini baadaye huzaa matunda ya haki na amani kwa wale waliofunzwa nayo.
