For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
All Commentaries on Hebrews 12:6 Go To Hebrews 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
You can not say that any righteous man is without affliction: even if he appear to be so, yet we know not his other afflictions. So that of necessity every righteous man must pass through affliction. For it is a declaration of Christ, that the wide and broad way leads to destruction, but the strait and narrow one to life. Matthew 7:13-14 If then it is possible to enter into life by that means, and is not by any other, then all have entered in by the narrow [way], as many as have departed unto life.
