Hebrews 12:11

Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them who are trained by it.

All Commentaries on Hebrews 12:11 Go To Hebrews 12

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

(Witham) We must not judge of sufferings by the smart they occasion, but by the fruits of peace, justice, and eternal glory they produce in such as submit to them with patience.
