Hebrews 12:3-5 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

³Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

⁴In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

⁵And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons:

“My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord,

and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.

— Hebrews 12:3-5
