What does the Bible say about chastening and correction?

In Hebrews 12:5-6, it is clearly stated that 'whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.' This reflects God's parental love and the necessity of discipline for spiritual growth. The act of chastening is not punishment for sin, as that was incurred by Christ, but rather a corrective measure to guide believers towards holiness. Just as earthly fathers discipline their children for their benefit, God's discipline aims to refine and sanctify His people, encouraging them through their struggles. Psalm 94 also affirms this by declaring, 'Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law,' illustrating the connection between correction and divine blessing.
