Hebrews:12:1-13
mkjv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
mkjv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured [the] cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:3 @ For consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest you be weary and faint in your minds.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:4 @ You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:5 @ And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him;
mkjv@Hebrews:12:6 @ for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and He scourges every son whom He receives.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:7 @ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons, for what son is he whom the father does not chasten?
mkjv@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards and not sons.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:9 @ Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
mkjv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For truly they chastened [us] for a few days according to their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that [we] might be partakers of His holiness.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now chastening for the present does not seem to be joyous, but grievous. Nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:12 @ Because of this, straighten up the hands which hang down and the enfeebled knees.
mkjv@Hebrews:12:13 @ And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed.
