Hebrews 12:7

εἰς אADKL, Vulg. Syr. Copt., &c.

7. εἰς παιδίαν ὑπομένετε. The true reading is not εἰ, “if” (which is followed by the A. V., but for which there is hardly any good authority), but εἰς, “unto.” “It is for training that ye endure,” or better, “Endure ye, for training,” i.e. “regard your trials as a part of the moral training designed for you in love and mercy by your Father in Heaven.”

ὑμῖν προσφέρεται. “In dealing with you.” Here only in the N. T. in this sense.

τίς γὰρ υἱός. The thought and its application to our relationship towards God are also found in Deuteronomy 8:5; 2 Samuel 7:14; Proverbs 13:24.
