Hebrews 10:22-23
22) let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,
23) let us hold fast the confession of our hope unyieldingly. For he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 12:4-11
4) You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;
5) and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with sons, "My son, don‘t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by him;
6) For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, And scourges every son whom he receives."
7) It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with sons, for what son is there whom his father doesn‘t discipline?
8) But if you are without discipline, whereof all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not sons.
9) Furthermore, 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?
10) For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11) All 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 exercised thereby.
Philippians 4:10-13
10) But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
11) Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12) I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
13) I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
