1 An exhortation to constant faith, patience, and godliness. 22 A commendation of the New Testament above the Old.

12:1 ¶ Wherefore, 5105 seeing wee x2249 also 2532 are y2192 z5723 compassed about 4029 z5740 y2254 with x2254 so great 5118 a cloude 3509 of witnesses, 3144 let y659 z0 vs y2249 lay aside 659 z5642 euery 3956 weight, 3591 & 2532 the sinne 266 which doth so easily beset 2139 vs, and x2532 let vs runne 5143 z5725 with 1223 patience 5281 vnto the x3588 race 73 that is set before 4295 z5740 vs, 2254

12:2 Looking 872 z5723 vnto 1519 Iesus 2424 the x3588 Authour 747 and 2532 finisher 5051 of [our] faith, 4102 who 3739 for 473 the x3588 ioy 5479 that was set before 4295 z5740 him, y846 x848 endured 5278 z5656 the crosse, 4716 despising 2706 z5660 the shame, 152 and 5037 is set down 2523 z5656 at 1722 the right hand 1188 of the x3588 throne 2362 of God. 2316

12:3 For 1063 consider 357 z5663 him that indured 5278 z5761 such 5108 contradiction 485 of 5259 sinners 268 against 1519 himselfe, y846 x848 lest 3363 ye be wearied 2577 z5632 and faint 1590 z5746 in your 5216 mindes. 5590

12:4 Yee haue y478 z0 not yet 3768 resisted 478 z5627 vnto 3360 blood, 129 striuing 464 z5740 against 4314 sinne. 266

12:5 And 2532 ye haue forgotten 1585 z5769 the x3588 exhortation 3874 which 3748 speaketh 1256 z5736 vnto you 5213 as 5613 vnto children, 5207 My 3450 sonne, 5207 despise 3643 z0 not 3361 thou y3643 z5720 the chastening 3809 of the Lord, 2962 nor 3366 faint 1590 z5744 when thou art rebuked 1651 z5746 of 5259 him. 846

12:6 For 1063 whome 3739 the Lord 2962 loueth 25 z5719 hee chasteneth, 3811 z5719 and 1161 scourgeth 3146 z5719 euery 3956 sonne 5207 whom 3739 he receiueth. 3858 z5736

12:7 If 1487 yee endure 5278 z5719 chastening, 3809 God 2316 dealeth 4374 z5743 with you 5213 as 5613 with sonnes: 5207 for 1063 what 5101 sonne 5207 is x2076 he y2076 z5748 whom 3739 the father 3962 chasteneth 3811 z5719 not? 3756

12:8 But 1161 if 1487 ye be 2075 z5748 without 5565 chastisement, 3809 whereof 3739 all 3956 are 1096 z5754 partakers, 3353 then 686 are x2075 ye y2075 z5748 bastards, 3541 and 2532 not 3756 sonnes. 5207

12:9 Furthermore, 1534 y3303 wee haue had 2192 z5707 fathers 3962 of our 2257 flesh, 4561 which corrected 3810 vs, and 2532 we gaue them reuerence: 1788 z5710 shall we y5293 z0 not 3756 much 4183 rather 3123 bee in subiection 5293 z5691 vnto the x3588 Father 3962 of Spirits, 4151 and 2532 liue? 2198 z5692

12:10 For 1063 they x3588 verily 3303 for 4314 a fewe 3641 dayes 2250 chastened 3811 z5707 vs after 2596 their owne y846 x848 pleasure, 1380 z5723 but 1161 hee x3588 for 1909 our profit, 4851 z5723 that y1519 we might bee partakers 3335 z5629 of his 846 holinesse. 41

12:11 Now 1161 no 3956 3756 chastening 3809 for 4314 y3303 the x3588 present 3918 z5752 seemeth 1380 z5719 to be 1511 z5750 ioyous, 5479 but 235 grieuous: 3077 neuerthelesse, 1161 afterward 5305 it yeeldeth 591 z5719 the peaceable 1516 fruite 2590 of righteousnesse, 1343 vnto them which are exercised 1128 z5772 thereby. 1223 846

12:12 Wherefore 1352 lift vp 461 z5657 the handes 5495 which x3588 hang downe, 3935 z5772 and 2532 the x3588 feeble 3886 z5772 knees. 1119

12:13 And 2532 make 4160 z5657 straight 3717 paths 5163 for your 5216 feete, 4228 lest x3363 that y3363 which is lame 5560 bee turned out of the way, 1624 z5652 but 1161 let it y2390 z0 rather 3123 bee healed. 2390 z5686

12:14 Followe 1377 z5720 peace 1515 with 3326 all 3956 men, and 2532 holinesse, 38 without 5565 which 3739 no man 3762 shall see 3700 z5695 the x3588 Lord: 2962

12:15 Looking diligently, 1983 z5723 lest 3361 any man 5100 faile 5302 z5723 of 575 the x3588 grace 5485 of God, 2316 lest 3361 any 5100 roote 4491 of bitternesse 4088 springing 5453 z5723 vp, 507 trouble 1776 z5725 [you], and 2532 thereby 1223 5026 many 4183 be defiled: 3392 z5686

12:16 Lest 3361 there bee any 5100 fornicatour, 4205 or 2228 profane person, 952 as 5613 Esau, 2269 who 3739 for 473 one 3391 morsell of meat 1035 sold 591 z5639 his y846 x848 birthright. 4415

12:17 For 1063 yee know 2467 z5759 how y3754 that x3754 afterward 3347 y2532 when hee would 2309 z5723 haue inherited 2816 z5658 the x3588 blessing, 2129 hee was reiected: 593 z5681 for 1063 hee found 2147 z5627 no 3756 place 5117 of repentance, 3341 though 2539 he sought y1567 z0 it y846 carefully 1567 z5660 x846 with 3326 teares. 1144

12:18 For 1063 yee are y4334 z0 not 3756 come 4334 z5754 vnto the mount 3735 that might be touched, 5584 z5746 and 2532 that burned 2545 z5772 with fire, 4442 nor 2532 vnto blacknesse, 1105 and 2532 darknes, 4655 and 2532 tempest, 2366

12:19 And 2532 the sound 2279 of a trumpet, 4536 and 2532 the voyce 5456 of wordes, 4487 which 3739 [voyce] they that heard, 191 z5660 entreated 3868 z5662 that the word 3056 should y4369 z0 not 3361 z0 bee spoken y4369 z5683 to them y846 any more. y3361 x4369 x846

12:20 For 1063 they could y5342 z0 not 3756 indure 5342 z5707 that which was commaunded: 1291 z5746 And if so much as 2579 a beast 2342 touch 2345 z5632 the x3588 Mountaine, 3735 it shall be stoned, 3036 z5701 or y2228 thrust thorow 2700 z5701 with a dart. 1002

12:21 And 2532 so 3779 terrible 5398 was 2258 z5713 the x3588 sight, 5324 z5746 that Moses 3475 sayde, 2036 z5627 I exceedingly feare, 1630 1510 z5748 and 2532 quake. 1790

12:22 But 235 ye are come y4334 z5754 vnto x4334 mount 3735 Sion, 4622 and 2532 vnto the citie 4172 of the liuing 2198 z5723 God 2316 the heauenly 2032 Ierusalem, 2419 and 2532 to an innumerable company 3461 of Angels: 32

12:23 To the generall assembly, 3831 and 2532 Church 1577 of the first borne 4416 which are written 583 z5772 in 1722 heauen, 3772 and 2532 to God 2316 the Iudge 2923 of all, 3956 and 2532 to the spirits 4151 of iust men 1342 made perfect: 5048 z5772

12:24 And 2532 to Iesus 2424 the mediatour 3316 of the new 3501 Couenant, 1242 and 2532 to the blood 129 of sprinckling, 4473 that speaketh 2980 z5723 better things 2909 then 3844 that of Abel. 6

12:25 See 991 z5720 that yee refuse 3868 z5667 not 3361 him that speaketh: 2980 z5723 for 1063 if 1487 they 1565 escaped 5343 z5627 not 3756 who refused x3868 him y3868 z5666 that spake 5537 z5723 on 1909 earth, 1093 much 4183 more 3123 shall not we 2249 [escape] if wee turne away from x654 him y654 z5734 x3588 that [speaketh] from 575 heauen. 3772

12:26 Whose 3739 voice 5456 then 5119 shooke 4531 z5656 the x3588 earth, 1093 but 1161 now 3568 he hath promised, 1861 z5766 saying, 3004 z5723 Yet 2089 once more 530 I 1473 shake 4579 z5719 not 3756 the x3588 earth 1093 onely, 3440 but 235 also 2532 heauen. 3772

12:27 And 1161 this x3588 [word] Yet 2089 once more, 530 signifieth 1213 z5719 the x3588 remouing 3331 of those things that are shaken, 4531 z5746 as 5613 of things that are made, 4160 z5772 that 2443 those things which cannot y3361 be shaken 4531 z5746 x3361 may remaine. 3306 z5661

12:28 Wherefore 1352 wee receiuing 3880 z5723 a kingdome 932 which cannot bee moued, 761 let vs haue 2192 z5725 grace, 5485 whereby 1223 3739 wee may serue 3000 z5725 God 2316 acceptably, 2102 with 3326 reuerence 127 and 2532 godly feare. 2124
