8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.

8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

8 If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all.

8 If you are never disciplined (and every child must be disciplined), you are not true children.

8 But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

8 But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

8 If you aren’t disciplined like the other children, you aren’t part of the family.

8 But if you are without discipline—which all receive —then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

8 If you do not have that discipline in which all children share, then you are illegitimate and not his children.

8 But if you are without discipline, in which all legitimate sons have become participants, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

8 God trains all of his children. But what if he doesn’t train you? Then you are like children of people who weren’t married to each other. You are not truly God’s children.

8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
