ylt @Hebrews:12:1 @Therefore , we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us , every weight having put off , and the closely besetting sin , through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us , ylt @Hebrews:12:2 @looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus , who , over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross , shame having despised , on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down ; ylt @Hebrews:12:3 @for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself , that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint . ylt @Hebrews:12:4 @Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving ; ylt @Hebrews:12:5 @and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons , 'My son , be not despising chastening of the Lord , nor be faint , being reproved by Him , ylt @Hebrews:12:6 @for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten , and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth ;' ylt @Hebrews:12:7 @if chastening ye endure , as to sons God beareth Himself to you , for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten ? ylt @Hebrews:12:8 @and if ye are apart from chastening , of which all have become partakers , then bastards are ye , and not sons . ylt @Hebrews:12:9 @Then , indeed , fathers of our flesh we have had , chastising [us ], and we were reverencing [them ]; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits , and live ? ylt @Hebrews:12:10 @for they , indeed , for a few days , according to what seemed good to them , were chastening , but He for profit , to be partakers of His separation ; ylt @Hebrews:12:11 @and all chastening for the present , indeed , doth not seem to be of joy , but of sorrow , yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield . ylt @Hebrews:12:12 @Wherefore , the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up ; ylt @Hebrews:12:13 @and straight paths make for your feet , that that which is lame may not be turned aside , but rather be healed ; ylt @Hebrews:12:14 @peace pursue with all , and the separation , apart from which no one shall see the Lord , ylt @Hebrews:12:15 @looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God , lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble , and through this many may be defiled ;
