Hebrews 12:9

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Think about it — we had earthly parents who disciplined us, and we respected them for it. So shouldn't we be even more willing to let our heavenly Father guide us? That's where real life comes from.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

If you could respect your parents' discipline, imagine what happens when you trust God's.
