58_HEB_12_01 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with So great A cloud of witnesses , let us lay aside every weight , And the sin which Doth So easily beset [ us ] , And let us run with patience the race that Is set before us ,
58_HEB_12_02 looking unto Jesus the author And finisher of [ our ] faith ; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross , despising the shame , And Is set down at the right hand of the throne of God .
58_HEB_12_03 for consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself , lest ye be wearied And faint in your minds .
58_HEB_12_04 ye have not yet resisted unto blood , striving against sin .
58_HEB_12_05 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children , my son , despise not thou the chastening of the LORD , nor faint when thou art rebuked of him :
58_HEB_12_06 for whom the LORD loveth he chasteneth , And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth .
58_HEB_12_07 if ye endure chastening , God dealeth with you as with sons ; for what son Is he whom the Father chasteneth not ?
58_HEB_12_08 but if ye be without chastisement , whereof all are partakers , Then are ye bastards , And not sons .
58_HEB_12_09 furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [ us ] , And we gave [ them ] reverence : shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits , And live ?
58_HEB_12_10 for they Verily for A few days chastened [ us ] after their own pleasure ; but he for [ our ] profit , that [ we ] might be partakers of his holiness .
58_HEB_12_11 now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous , but grievous : Nevertheless Afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby .
58_HEB_12_12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down , And the feeble knees ;
58_HEB_12_13 And make straight paths for your feet , lest that which Is lame be turned out of the way ; but let it rather be healed .
58_HEB_12_14 follow peace with all [ men ] , And holiness , without which no man shall see the LORD :
58_HEB_12_15 looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God ; lest any root of bitterness springing up Trouble [ you ] , And thereby Many be defiled ;
58_HEB_12_16 lest there [ be ] any fornicator , or profane person , as Esau , who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright .
58_HEB_12_17 for ye know how that Afterward , when he would have inherited the blessing , he was rejected : for he found no place of repentance , though he sought it carefully with tears .
58_HEB_12_18 for ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched , And that burned with fire , nor unto blackness , And darkness , And tempest ,
58_HEB_12_19 And the sound of A trumpet , And the voice of words ; which [ voice ] they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more :
58_HEB_12_20 [ for they could not endure that which was commanded , And if So much as A beast touch the mountain , it shall be stoned , or thrust through with A dart :
58_HEB_12_21 And So terrible was the sight , [ that ] Moses said , I exceedingly Fear And quake : ]
58_HEB_12_22 but ye are come unto mount Sion , And unto the city of the living God , the heavenly Jerusalem , And to an innumerable company of angels ,
58_HEB_12_23 to the general assembly And church of the firstborn , which are written in heaven , And to God the judge of all , And to the spirits of just men made perfect ,
58_HEB_12_24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant , And to the blood of sprinkling , that speaketh Better things than [ that of ] Abel .
58_HEB_12_25 see that ye refuse not him that speaketh . for if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth , much more [ shall not ] we [ escape ] , if we turn away from him that [ speaketh ] from heaven :
58_HEB_12_26 whose voice Then shook the earth : but now he hath promised , saying , yet once more I shake not the earth only , but also heaven .
58_HEB_12_27 And this [ word ] , yet once more , signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken , as of things that are made , that those things which cannot be shaken may remain .
58_HEB_12_28 Wherefore we receiving A kingdom which cannot be moved , let us have grace , whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence And godly Fear :
58_HEB_12_29 for our God [ Is ] A consuming fire .
