You know<n id="1" /> the message<n id="2" /> he sent to the people<n id="3" /> of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace<n id="4" /> through<n id="5" /> Jesus Christ<n id="6" /> (he is Lord<n id="7" /> of all) &#8211;

<p class="bodytext">Endure your suffering<n id="1" /> as discipline;<n id="2" /> God is treating you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline?

I tell you the truth,<n id="1" /> people will be forgiven for all sins, even all the blasphemies they utter.<n id="2" />

Now this secret<n id="1" /> was not disclosed to people<n id="2" /> in former<n id="3" /> generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by<n id="4" /> the Spirit,

And have you forgotten the exhortation addressed to you as sons?p> <p class="otpoetry">&#8220;<i><b>My sonb>, <b>do not scornb>i><n id="1" /> <b><i>the Lord&#8217;s disciplinei>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>or give up when he correctsi>b><n id="2" /> <i><b>youb>.i>p>

in which<n id="1" /> you formerly lived<n id="2" /> according to this world&#8217;s present path,<n id="3" /> according to the ruler of the kingdom<n id="4" /> of the air, the ruler of<n id="5" /> the spirit<n id="6" /> that is now energizing<n id="7" /> the sons of disobedience,<n id="8" />
