1Wherefore5105 seeing we also2532 are2192 compassed about4029 2254 with so great5118 a cloud3509 of witnesses3144, let659 us2249 lay aside659 every3956 weight3591, and2532 the sin266 which doth so easily beset2139 us, and let us run5143 with1223 patience5281 the race73 that is set before4295 us2254,
2Looking872 unto1519 Jesus2424 the author747 and2532 finisher5051 of our faith4102; who3739 for473 the joy5479 that was set before4295 him846 endured5278 the cross4716, despising2706 the shame152, and5037 is set down2523 at1722 the right hand1188 of the throne2362 of God2316.
3For1063 consider357 him that endured5278 such5108 contradiction485 of5259 sinners268 against1519 himself846, lest3363 ye be wearied2577 and faint1590 in your5216 minds5590.
4Ye have478 not yet3768 resisted478 unto3360 blood129, striving464 against4314 sin266.
5And2532 ye have forgotten1585 the exhortation3874 which3748 speaketh1256 unto you5213 as5613 unto children5207, My3450 son5207, despise3643 not3361 thou3643 the chastening3809 of the Lord2962, nor3366 faint1590 when thou art rebuked1651 of5259 him846:
6For1063 whom3739 the Lord2962 loveth25 he chasteneth3811, and1161 scourgeth3146 every3956 son5207 whom3739 he receiveth3858.
7If1487 ye endure5278 chastening3809, God2316 dealeth4374 with you5213 as5613 with sons5207; for1063 what5101 son5207 is he2076 whom3739 the father3962 chasteneth3811 not3756?
8But1161 if1487 ye be2075 without5565 chastisement3809, whereof3739 all3956 are1096 partakers3353, then686 are ye2075 bastards3541, and2532 not3756 sons5207.
9Furthermore1534 3303 we have had2192 fathers3962 of our2257 flesh4561 which corrected3810 us, and2532 we gave them reverence1788: shall we5293 not3756 much4183 rather3123 be in subjection5293 unto the Father3962 of spirits4151, and2532 live2198?
10For1063 they verily3303 for4314 a few3641 days2250 chastened3811 us after2596 their own846 pleasure1380; but1161 he for1909 our profit4851, that1519 we might be partakers3335 of his846 holiness41.
11Now1161 no3956 3756 chastening3809 for4314 3303 the present3918 seemeth1380 to be1511 joyous5479, but235 grievous3077: nevertheless1161 afterward5305 it yieldeth591 the peaceable1516 fruit2590 of righteousness1343 unto them which are exercised1128 thereby1223 846.
12Wherefore1352 lift up461 the hands5495 which hang down3935, and2532 the feeble3886 knees1119;
13And2532 make4160 straight3717 paths5163 for your5216 feet4228, lest that3363 which is lame5560 be turned out of the way1624; but1161 let it2390 rather3123 be healed2390.
14Follow1377 peace1515 with3326 all3956 men, and2532 holiness38, without5565 which3739 no man3762 shall see3700 the Lord2962:
15Looking diligently1983 lest3361 any man5100 fail5302 of575 the grace5485 of God2316; lest3361 any5100 root4491 of bitterness4088 springing5453 up507 trouble1776 you, and2532 thereby1223 5026 many4183 be defiled3392;
16Lest3361 there be any5100 fornicator4205, or2228 profane person952, as5613 Esau2269, who3739 for473 one3391 morsel of meat1035 sold591 his846 birthright4415.
17For1063 ye know2467 how3754 that afterward2532 3347, when he would2309 have inherited2816 the blessing2129, he was rejected593: for1063 he found2147 no3756 place5117 of repentance3341, though2539 he sought1567 it846 carefully1567 with3326 tears1144.
18For1063 ye are4334 not3756 come4334 unto the mount3735 that might be touched5584, and2532 that burned2545 with fire4442, nor2532 unto blackness1105, and2532 darkness4655, and2532 tempest2366,
19And2532 the sound2279 of a trumpet4536, and2532 the voice5456 of words4487; which3739 voice they that heard191 intreated3868 that the word3056 should4369 not3361 be spoken4369 to them846 any more3361:
20(For1063 they could5342 not3756 endure5342 that which was commanded1291, And if so much as2579 a beast2342 touch2345 the mountain3735, it shall be stoned3036, or2228 thrust through2700 with a dart1002:
21And2532 so3779 terrible5398 was2258 the sight5324, that Moses3475 said2036, I exceedingly fear1630 1510 and2532 quake1790:)
22But235 ye are come4334 unto mount3735 Sion4622, and2532 unto the city4172 of the living2198 God2316, the heavenly2032 Jerusalem2419, and2532 to an innumerable company3461 of angels32,
23To the general assembly3831 and2532 church1577 of the firstborn4416, which are written583 in1722 heaven3772, and2532 to God2316 the Judge2923 of all3956, and2532 to the spirits4151 of just men1342 made perfect5048,
24And2532 to Jesus2424 the mediator3316 of the new3501 covenant1242, and2532 to the blood129 of sprinkling4473, that speaketh2980 better things2909 than3844 that of Abel6.
25See991 that ye refuse3868 not3361 him that speaketh2980. For1063 if1487 they1565 escaped5343 not3756 who refused him3868 that spake5537 on1909 earth1093, much4183 more3123 shall not we2249 escape, if we turn away from him654 that speaketh from575 heaven3772:
26Whose3739 voice5456 then5119 shook4531 the earth1093: but1161 now3568 he hath promised1861, saying3004, Yet2089 once more530 I1473 shake4579 not3756 the earth1093 only3440, but235 also2532 heaven3772.
27And1161 this word, Yet2089 once more530, signifieth1213 the removing3331 of those things that are shaken4531, as5613 of things that are made4160, that2443 those things which cannot3361 be shaken4531 may remain3306.
28Wherefore1352 we receiving3880 a kingdom932 which cannot be moved761, let us have2192 grace5485, whereby1223 3739 we may serve3000 God2316 acceptably2102 with3326 reverence127 and2532 godly fear2124:
29For2532 1063 our2257 God2316 is a consuming2654 fire4442.
