12:1 | Wherefore <5105> seeing we also <2532> are <2192> (5723) compassed about <4029> (5740) <2254> with so great <5118> a cloud <3509> of witnesses <3144>, let <659> (0) us <2249> lay aside <659> (5642) every <3956> weight <3591>, and <2532> the sin <266> which doth so easily beset <2139> [us], and let us run <5143> (5725) with <1223> patience <5281> the race <73> that is set before <4295> (5740) us <2254>, |
12:2 | Looking <872> (5723) unto <1519> Jesus <2424> the author <747> and <2532> finisher <5051> of [our] faith <4102>; who <3739> for <473> the joy <5479> that was set before <4295> (5740) him <846> endured <5278> (5656) the cross <4716>, despising <2706> (5660) the shame <152>, and <5037> is set down <2523> (5656) at <1722> the right hand <1188> of the throne <2362> of God <2316>. {author: or, beginner} |
12:3 | For <1063> consider <357> (5663) him that endured <5278> (5761) such <5108> contradiction <485> of <5259> sinners <268> against <1519> himself <846>, lest <3363> ye be wearied <2577> (5632) and faint <1590> (5746) in your <5216> minds <5590>. |
12:4 | Ye have <478> (0) not yet <3768> resisted <478> (5627) unto <3360> blood <129>, striving <464> (5740) against <4314> sin <266>. |
12:5 | And <2532> ye have forgotten <1585> (5769) the exhortation <3874> which <3748> speaketh <1256> (5736) unto you <5213> as <5613> unto children <5207>, My <3450> son <5207>, despise <3643> (0) not <3361> thou <3643> (5720) the chastening <3809> of the Lord <2962>, nor <3366> faint <1590> (5744) when thou art rebuked <1651> (5746) of <5259> him <846>: |
12:6 | For <1063> whom <3739> the Lord <2962> loveth <25> (5719) he chasteneth <3811> (5719), and <1161> scourgeth <3146> (5719) every <3956> son <5207> whom <3739> he receiveth <3858> (5736). |
12:7 | If <1487> ye endure <5278> (5719) chastening <3809>, God <2316> dealeth <4374> (5743) with you <5213> as <5613> with sons <5207>; for <1063> what <5101> son <5207> is he <2076> (5748) whom <3739> the father <3962> chasteneth <3811> (5719) not <3756>? |
12:8 | But <1161> if <1487> ye be <2075> (5748) without <5565> chastisement <3809>, whereof <3739> all <3956> are <1096> (5754) partakers <3353>, then <686> are ye <2075> (5748) bastards <3541>, and <2532> not <3756> sons <5207>. |
12:9 | Furthermore <1534> <3303> we have had <2192> (5707) fathers <3962> of our <2257> flesh <4561> which corrected <3810> [us], and <2532> we gave [them] reverence <1788> (5710): shall we <5293> (0) not <3756> much <4183> rather <3123> be in subjection <5293> (5691) unto the Father <3962> of spirits <4151>, and <2532> live <2198> (5692)? |
12:10 | For <1063> they verily <3303> for <4314> a few <3641> days <2250> chastened <3811> (5707) [us] after <2596> their own <846> pleasure <1380> (5723); but <1161> he for <1909> [our] profit <4851> (5723), that <1519> [we] might be partakers <3335> (5629) of his <846> holiness <41>. {after...: or, as seemed good, or, meet to them} |
12:11 | Now <1161> no <3956> <3756> chastening <3809> for <4314> <3303> the present <3918> (5752) seemeth <1380> (5719) to be <1511> (5750) joyous <5479>, but <235> grievous <3077>: nevertheless <1161> afterward <5305> it yieldeth <591> (5719) the peaceable <1516> fruit <2590> of righteousness <1343> unto them which are exercised <1128> (5772) thereby <1223> <846>. |
12:12 | Wherefore <1352> lift up <461> (5657) the hands <5495> which hang down <3935> (5772), and <2532> the feeble <3886> (5772) knees <1119>; |
12:13 | And <2532> make <4160> (5657) straight <3717> paths <5163> for your <5216> feet <4228>, lest that <3363> which is lame <5560> be turned out of the way <1624> (5652); but <1161> let it <2390> (0) rather <3123> be healed <2390> (5686). {straight: or, even} |
12:14 | Follow <1377> (5720) peace <1515> with <3326> all <3956> [men], and <2532> holiness <38>, without <5565> which <3739> no man <3762> shall see <3700> (5695) the Lord <2962>: |
12:15 | Looking diligently <1983> (5723) lest <3361> any man <5100> fail <5302> (5723) of <575> the grace <5485> of God <2316>; lest <3361> any <5100> root <4491> of bitterness <4088> springing <5453> (5723) up <507> trouble <1776> (5725) [you], and <2532> thereby <1223> <5026> many <4183> be defiled <3392> (5686); {fail...; or, fall from} |
12:16 | Lest <3361> there [be] any <5100> fornicator <4205>, or <2228> profane person <952>, as <5613> Esau <2269>, who <3739> for <473> one <3391> morsel of meat <1035> sold <591> (5639) his <846> birthright <4415>. |
12:17 | For <1063> ye know <2467> (5759) how <3754> that afterward <2532> <3347>, when he would <2309> (5723) have inherited <2816> (5658) the blessing <2129>, he was rejected <593> (5681): for <1063> he found <2147> (5627) no <3756> place <5117> of repentance <3341>, though <2539> he sought <1567> (0) it <846> carefully <1567> (5660) with <3326> tears <1144>. {place...: or, way to change his mind} |
12:18 | For <1063> ye are <4334> (0) not <3756> come <4334> (5754) unto the mount <3735> that might be touched <5584> (5746), and <2532> that burned <2545> (5772) with fire <4442>, nor <2532> unto blackness <1105>, and <2532> darkness <4655>, and <2532> tempest <2366>, |
12:19 | And <2532> the sound <2279> of a trumpet <4536>, and <2532> the voice <5456> of words <4487>; which <3739> [voice] they that heard <191> (5660) intreated <3868> (5662) that the word <3056> should <4369> (0) not <3361> (0) be spoken <4369> (5683) to them <846> any more <3361>: |
12:20 | (For <1063> they could <5342> (0) not <3756> endure <5342> (5707) that which was commanded <1291> (5746), And if so much as <2579> a beast <2342> touch <2345> (5632) the mountain <3735>, it shall be stoned <3036> (5701), or <2228> thrust through <2700> (5701) with a dart <1002>: |
12:21 | And <2532> so <3779> terrible <5398> was <2258> (5713) the sight <5324> (5746), [that] Moses <3475> said <2036> (5627), I exceedingly fear <1630> <1510> (5748) and <2532> quake <1790>:) |
12:22 | But <235> ye are come <4334> (5754) unto mount <3735> Sion <4622>, and <2532> unto the city <4172> of the living <2198> (5723) God <2316>, the heavenly <2032> Jerusalem <2419>, and <2532> to an innumerable company <3461> of angels <32>, |
12:23 | To the general assembly <3831> and <2532> church <1577> of the firstborn <4416>, which are written <583> (5772) in <1722> heaven <3772>, and <2532> to God <2316> the Judge <2923> of all <3956>, and <2532> to the spirits <4151> of just men <1342> made perfect <5048> (5772), {written: or, enrolled} |
12:24 | And <2532> to Jesus <2424> the mediator <3316> of the new <3501> covenant <1242>, and <2532> to the blood <129> of sprinkling <4473>, that speaketh <2980> (5723) better things <2909> than <3844> [that of] Abel <6>. {covenant: or, testament} |
12:25 | See <991> (5720) that ye refuse <3868> (5667) not <3361> him that speaketh <2980> (5723). For <1063> if <1487> they <1565> escaped <5343> (5627) not <3756> who refused him <3868> (5666) that spake <5537> (5723) on <1909> earth <1093>, much <4183> more <3123> [shall not] we <2249> [escape], if we turn away from him <654> (5734) that [speaketh] from <575> heaven <3772>: |
12:26 | Whose <3739> voice <5456> then <5119> shook <4531> (5656) the earth <1093>: but <1161> now <3568> he hath promised <1861> (5766), saying <3004> (5723), Yet <2089> once more <530> I <1473> shake <4579> (5719) not <3756> the earth <1093> only <3440>, but <235> also <2532> heaven <3772>. |
12:27 | And <1161> this [word], Yet <2089> once more <530>, signifieth <1213> (5719) the removing <3331> of those things that are shaken <4531> (5746), as <5613> of things that are made <4160> (5772), that <2443> those things which cannot <3361> be shaken <4531> (5746) may remain <3306> (5661). {are shaken: or, may be shaken} |
12:28 | Wherefore <1352> we receiving <3880> (5723) a kingdom <932> which cannot be moved <761>, let us have <2192> (5725) grace <5485>, whereby <1223> <3739> we may serve <3000> (5725) God <2316> acceptably <2102> with <3326> reverence <127> and <2532> godly fear <2124>: {let...: or, let us hold fast} |
12:29 | For <2532> <1063> our <2257> God <2316> [is] a consuming <2654> (5723) fire <4442>. |
