KJV with Strongs
(11) Now all discipline surely for the moment seems not to be joyful but rather grievous. And later those trained through it are paid back the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
The F.O.G
[11] No discipline feels good in the moment – it stings and hurts. But later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness for those who have been trained by it.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it—it doth yield.
