mnt - Hebrews:12:1-13

mnt@Hebrews:12:1 @ Seeing then that we are encircled with this great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin that clings about us. Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

mnt@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

mnt@Hebrews:12:3 @ Compare yourselves with him who endured such hostility against himself at the hands of sinners, lest you grow weary, fainting in your souls.

mnt@Hebrews:12:4 @ Not yet have you resisted unto blood in your fight against sin;

mnt@Hebrews:12:5 @ and have you forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as sons? My son, do not despise the training of the Lord, Nor faint when he corrects you;

mnt@Hebrews:12:6 @ For it is those whom he loves that he disciplines, And he scourges every son whom he acknowledges.

mnt@Hebrews:12:7 @ It is for discipline that you are enduring these sufferings. God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

mnt@Hebrews:12:8 @ If you are left without discipline, in which all children share, then are you bastards and not sons.

mnt@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore, our earthly fathers used to discipline us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

mnt@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they only disciplined us for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

mnt@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now no discipline seems for the present to be joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness to those who have been trained under it.

mnt@Hebrews:12:12 @ Wherefore lift up your listless hands, strengthen your feeble knees;

mnt@Hebrews:12:13 @ make straight path for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.
