21  Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to ^achasten his people; yea, he trieth their patience and their faith.

  3  And thus we see that except the Lord doth ^achasten his people with many afflictions, yea, except he doth visit them with death and with terror, and with famine and with all manner of pestilence, they will not remember him.

  1  Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you whom I love, and whom I love I also chasten that their sins may be forgiven, for with the ^cchastisement I prepare a way for their deliverance in all things out of temptation, and I have loved you—

  21  Verily I say unto you, that I, the Lord, will ^achasten them and will do whatsoever I list, if they do not repent and observe all things whatsoever I have said unto them.

  6  And my people must needs be ^achastened until they learn obedience, if it must needs be, by the things which they suffer.
