dby Hebrews:12:1-15
dby@Hebrews:12:1 @ Let us also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,
dby@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking stedfastly on Jesus the leader and completer of faith: who, in view of the joy lying before him, endured [the] cross, having despised [the] shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
dby@Hebrews:12:3 @ For consider well him who endured so great contradiction from sinners against himself, that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds.
dby@Hebrews:12:4 @ Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against sin.
dby@Hebrews:12:5 @ And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, despise not [the] chastening of [the] Lord, nor faint [when] reproved by him;
dby@Hebrews:12:6 @ for whom [the] Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.
dby@Hebrews:12:7 @ Ye endure for chastening, God conducts himself towards you as towards sons; for who is the son that the father chastens not?
dby@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
dby@Hebrews:12:9 @ Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced [them]; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
dby@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they indeed chastened for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness.
dby@Hebrews:12:11 @ But no chastening at the time seems to be [matter] of joy, but of grief; but afterwards yields [the] peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it.
dby@Hebrews:12:12 @ Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the failing knees;
dby@Hebrews:12:13 @ and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned aside; but that rather it may be healed.
dby@Hebrews:12:14 @ Pursue peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord:
dby@Hebrews:12:15 @ watching lest [there be] any one who lacks the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and many be defiled by it;
