My Son, Don't Despise the Discipline of the Lord
In the first citation of Hebrews in chapter one, it's the same two words, my son. John: I think this is an intentional addition, not just for warmth, but to put God's address to the son and God'saddress to the many sons and daughters as God says the same thing. The author was playing fast and loose with the text, but he's taking a text that's clearly about what he's about to discuss, the discipline of God.
