Hebrews 12:11-13

Tree of Life Version

¹¹Now all discipline seems painful at the moment—not joyful. But later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

¹²Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble! ^[a] ¹³And make straight paths for your feet,^[b] so that what is lame will not be pulled out of joint but rather be healed.
