Theodoret of Cyrus, on Heb 12:7
Theodoret of Cyrus · c. A.D. 393–457
Heb 12:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?”
On this verse:
“Fathers are in the habit of disciplining their true children, and if they see them caned by the teachers, they do not worry; they see the fruit coming from the discipline. But they despise illegitimate children and do not accord them equal attention. So if you also avoid discipline, you are of the number of the illegitimate.”
