‘It is for chastening that you endure; God deals with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not chasten?'

For the truth is that their having to endure arises from God's purpose to discipline and chasten them. They have to endure because God is dealing with them as sons, and that should be a comfort and encouragement to them. For, after all, what son is not chastened by a good father? And they should recognise that a good father does it because he only has his son's best interests at heart. So let them realise that God's present chastening comes to them because He is a good Father.
