lont - Hebrews:12:1-13

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.
