Hebrews 12:8 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Whereof all are partakers. — Better, whereof all (God’s children) have been made partakers. Were it possible that they have never known this fatherly “chastening,” it must be that they are not sons whom a father acknowledges, and for whose training he has care.

Hebrews 12:8

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