Oecumenius, on Heb 12:8
Oecumenius · c. A.D. 550
Heb 12:8 · Douay-Rheims
“But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are made partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.”
On this verse:
“"If you are not disciplined." Where he had sought from the things themselves, namely with all the saints brought forth who had fought through afflictions, now he strives to persuade even from human reasoning. "then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all." If, therefore, the sign of illegitimate children is not to be punished, but legitimate children are punished, it is necessary, he says, to rejoice in punishment.”
