Endure Chastening

Hbr 12:5 KJV - And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Hbr 12:6 KJV - For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Hbr 12:7 KJV - If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

When God chastens His people for sin, His chastisements are not the fruits of wrath or parts of the curse, for there is no wrath in them; the are not satisfactions for sin; they are not sent in vindictive justice; they are not merely penal, but medicinal; their reason is displeased love, and their purpose is fuller embraces.
