WhyG5105 seeing we alsoG2532 are compassedG4029 aboutG4029 with soG5118 greatG5118 a cloudG3509 of witnesses,G3144 let us layG659 asideG659 everyG3956 weight,G3591 and the sinG266 which does so easily besetG2139 us, and let us runG5143 with patienceG5281 the raceG73 that is setG4295 beforeG4295 us,
2
LookingG872 to JesusG2424 the authorG747 and finisherG5047 of our faith;G4102 whoG3739 for the joyG5479 that was setG4295 beforeG4295 him enduredG5278 the cross,G4716 despisingG2706 the shame,G152 and is setG2523 downG2523 atG1722 the rightG1188 hand of the throneG2362 of God.G2316
3
For considerG357 him that enduredG5278 suchG5108 contradictionG485 of sinnersG268 againstG1519 himself,G848 lestG2443 G3361 you be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 in yourG5216 minds.G5590
4
You have not yetG3768 resistedG478 to blood,G129 strivingG464 againstG4314 sin.G266
5
And you have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speaksG1256 to you as to children,G5207 My son,G5207 despiseG3643 not you the chasteningG3809 of the Lord,G2962 norG3366 faintG1590 when you are rebukedG1651 of him:
6
For whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovesG25 he chastens,G3811 and whipsG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receives.G3858
7
IfG1487 you endureG5278 chastening,G3809 GodG2316 dealsG4374 with you as with sons;G5207 for whatG5101 sonG5207 is he whomG3739 the fatherG3962 chastensG3811 not?
8
But ifG1487 you be withoutG5565 chastisement,G3809 whereofG3739 allG3956 are partakers,G3353 thenG686 are you bastards,G3541 and not sons.G5207
9
FurthermoreG1534 we haveG2192 hadG2192 fathersG3962 of our fleshG4561 which correctedG3810 us, and we gaveG1788 them reverence:G1788 shall we not muchG4183 ratherG3123 be in subjectionG5293 to the FatherG3962 of spirits,G4151 and live?G2198
10
For they trulyG3303 for a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastenedG3811 us afterG2596 their ownG848 pleasure;G3588 G1380 but he for our profit,G4851 that we might be partakersG3335 of his holiness.G41
11
NowG1161 noG3956 G3756 chasteningG3809 for the presentG3918 seemsG1380 to be joyous,G5479 but grievous:G3077 neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldsG591 the peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 to them which are exercisedG1128 thereby.G1223 G846
12
WhyG1352 liftG461 up the handsG5495 which hangG3935 down,G3935 and the feebleG3886 knees;G1119
13
And makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for yourG5216 feet,G4228 lestG2443 G3361 that which is lameG5560 be turnedG1624 out of the way;G1624 but let it ratherG3123 be healed.G2390
14
FollowG1377 peaceG1515 with allG3956 men, and holiness,G38 withoutG5565 whichG3739 noG3762 manG3762 shall seeG3700 the Lord:G2962
15
LookingG1983 diligently lestG3361 anyG5100 man failG5302 of the graceG5485 of God;G2316 lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 up troubleG1776 you, and therebyG1223 G5026 manyG4183 be defiled;G3392
16
Lest there be anyG5100 fornicator,G4205 orG2228 profaneG952 person, as Esau,G2269 whoG3739 for oneG3391 morselG1035 of meatG1035 soldG591 his birthright.G4415
17
For you knowG2467 howG3754 that afterward,G3347 when he wouldG2309 haveG2192 inheritedG2816 the blessing,G2129 he was rejected:G593 for he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 of repentance,G3341 thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 it carefullyG1567 with tears.G1144
18
For you are not comeG4334 to the mountG3735 that might be touched,G5584 and that burnedG2545 with fire,G4442 norG2532 to blackness,G1105 and darkness,G4655 and tempest,G2366
19
And the soundG2279 of a trumpet,G4536 and the voiceG5456 of words;G4487 whichG3739 voice they that heardG191 entreatedG3868 that the wordG3056 should not be spokenG4369 to them anyG2089 more:G4369
20
(For they could not endureG5342 that which was commanded,G1291 And if so muchG2579 as a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountain,G3735 it shall be stoned,G3036 orG2228 thrustG2700 throughG2700 with a dart:G1002
21
And soG3779 terribleG5398 was the sight,G5324 that MosesG3475 said,G2036 I exceedinglyG1630 fearG1630 G1510 and quake:G1790)
22
But you are comeG4334 to mountG3735 Sion,G4622 and to the cityG4172 of the livingG2198 God,G2316 the heavenlyG2032 Jerusalem,G2419 and to an innumerableG3461 companyG3461 of angels,G32
23
To the generalG3831 assemblyG3831 and churchG1577 of the firstborn,G4416 which are writtenG583 in heaven,G3772 and to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of all,G3956 and to the spiritsG4151 of justG1342 men madeG5048 perfect,G5048
24
And to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of the newG3501 covenant,G1242 and to the bloodG129 of sprinkling,G4473 that speaksG2980 betterG2909 things thanG3844 that of Abel.G6
25
SeeG991 that you refuseG3868 not him that speaks.G2980 For ifG1487 they escapedG5343 not who refusedG3868 him that spokeG5537 onG1909 earth,G1093 muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not we escape,G5343 if we turnG654 awayG654 from him that speaks from heaven:G3772
26
WhoseG3739 voiceG5456 thenG5119 shookG4531 the earth:G1093 but nowG3568 he has promised,G1861 saying,G3004 YetG2089 onceG530 more I shakeG4579 not the earthG1093 only,G3440 but alsoG2532 heaven.G3772
27
And thisG3588 word, YetG2089 onceG530 more, signifiesG1213 the removingG3331 of thoseG3588 things that are shaken,G4531 as of things that are made,G4160 that thoseG3588 things which cannotG3361 be shakenG4531 may remain.G3306
28
WhyG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannotG761 be moved,G761 let us haveG2192 grace,G5485 wherebyG1223 G3739 we may serveG3000 GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 with reverenceG127 and godly fear:G2124
29
For our GodG2316 is a consumingG2654 fire.G4442
