For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

Διοτι εκεινοι μεν προς ολιγας ημερας επαιδευον ημας κατα την αρεσκειαν αυτων, ο δε προς το συμφερον ημων, δια να γεινωμεν μετοχοι της αγιοτητος αυτου.

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
