lont@Hebrews:12:1 @ Since, then, we have so great a cloud of witnesses placed before us, laying aside every encumbrance, and the sin which easily entangles us, let us run, with perseverance, the race set before us;
lont@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus, the leader and perfecter of the faith; who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
lont@Hebrews:12:3 @ Consider him who, from sinners, endured such opposition against himself, lest, becoming discouraged in your minds, you grow weary;
lont@Hebrews:12:4 @ you have not yet resisted to blood, struggling against this sin.
lont@Hebrews:12:5 @ «Besides, have you forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children,» 'My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's chastisement, neither faint when you are rebuked by him:'
lont@Hebrews:12:6 @ «for whom the Lord loves he chastises, and scourges every son whom he receives.»
lont@Hebrews:12:7 @ If you endure chastisement, God deals with you as his children. For what son is there whom his father does not chastise?
lont@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you be without chastisement, of which all sons are partakers, certainly you are bastards, and not sons.
lont@Hebrews:12:9 @ Farther, we have had fathers of our flesh, who chastised us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live?
lont@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they, indeed, during a very few days, chastised us according to their pleasure; but he, for our advantage, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
lont@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now, no chastisement, indeed, for the present, seems to be matter of joy, but of sorrow. Nevertheless, afterward it returns the peaceful fruit of righteousness to them who are trained by it.
lont@Hebrews:12:12 @ Wherefore, bring to their right position, the arms that hang down, and the weakened knees.
lont@Hebrews:12:13 @ And make smooth paths for your feet, that that which is lame, may not be put out of joint, but that it may rather be healed.
lont@Hebrews:12:14 @ Pursue peace with all men, and holiness, without which, no one shall see the Lord:
lont@Hebrews:12:15 @ carefully observing, lest any one come short of the favor of God; lest some bitter root springing up, trouble you, and by it many be polluted;
lont@Hebrews:12:16 @ lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who, for one meal, gave away his birthrights.
lont@Hebrews:12:17 @ And you know, that although afterward he wished to inherit the blessing, he was reprobated: for he found no scope for effecting a change, though he earnestly sought it with tears.
lont@Hebrews:12:18 @ Now you are not come to a tangible mountain, which burned with fire; and to blackness, and to darkness, and to tempest,
lont@Hebrews:12:19 @ and to the sound of a trumpet, and to the voice of words, the hearers of which earnestly entreated that a word more might not be addressed to them:
lont@Hebrews:12:20 @ «for they could not bear this threat,» 'Even if a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned.'
lont@Hebrews:12:21 @ «And so terrible was the appearance, that Moses said,» 'I exceedingly fear and tremble.'
lont@Hebrews:12:22 @ But you are come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
lont@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the general assembly and congregation of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
lont@Hebrews:12:24 @ and to Jesus the mediator of the new institution, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaks better things than that of Abel.
lont@Hebrews:12:25 @ Take care that you refuse not him who speaks: for if they did not escape, who refused him who spoke on earth, much more we shall not escape, who turn away from him that speaks from heaven:
lont@Hebrews:12:26 @ «whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying,» 'Yet once I shake not the earth only, but also the heavens.'
lont@Hebrews:12:27 @ «Now this speech,» 'YET ONCE,' 'signifies the removing of the things shaken, as of things which were constituted, that the things not shaken may remain.'
lont@Hebrews:12:28 @ Wherefore, we having received a kingdom not shaken, let us have gratitude, by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and religious fear.
lont@Hebrews:12:29 @ For truly our God is a consuming fire.
