10. Our fathers on earth disciplined us for a short time in the way they thought was best. But God disciplines us to help us, so we can become holy as he is.
11. We do not enjoy being disciplined. It is painful at the time, but later, after we have learned from it, we have peace, because we start living in the right way.
12. You have become weak, so make yourselves strong again.
13. Keep on the right path, so the weak will not stumble but rather be strengthened.
14. Try to live in peace with all people, and try to live free from sin. Anyone whose life is not holy will never see the Lord.
