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

12:1 ¶ Wherefore 5105 seeing we x2249 also 2532 are y2192 z5723 compassed about 4029 z5740 y2254 with x2254 so great 5118 a cloud 3509 of witnesses, 3144 let y659 z0 us y2249 lay aside 659 z5642 every 3956 weight, 3591 and 2532 the sin 266 which doth so easily beset 2139 [us], and x2532 let us run 5143 z5725 with 1223 patience 5281 the x3588 race 73 that is set before 4295 z5740 us, 2254

12:2 Looking 872 z5723 unto 1519 Jesus 2424 the x3588 author 747 and 2532 finisher 5051 of [our] faith; 4102 who 3739 for 473 the x3588 joy 5479 that was set before 4295 z5740 him y846 x848 endured 5278 z5656 the cross, 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 endured 5278 z5761 such 5108 contradiction 485 of 5259 sinners 268 against 1519 himself, y846 x848 lest 3363 ye be wearied 2577 z5632 and faint 1590 z5746 in your 5216 minds. 5590

12:4 Ye have y478 z0 not yet 3768 resisted 478 z5627 unto 3360 blood, 129 striving 464 z5740 against 4314 sin. 266

12:5 And 2532 ye have forgotten 1585 z5769 the x3588 exhortation 3874 which 3748 speaketh 1256 z5736 unto you 5213 as 5613 unto children, 5207 My 3450 son, 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 whom 3739 the Lord 2962 loveth 25 z5719 he chasteneth, 3811 z5719 and 1161 scourgeth 3146 z5719 every 3956 son 5207 whom 3739 he receiveth. 3858 z5736

12:7 If 1487 ye endure 5278 z5719 chastening, 3809 God 2316 dealeth 4374 z5743 with you 5213 as 5613 with sons; 5207 for 1063 what 5101 son 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 sons. 5207

12:9 Furthermore 1534 y3303 we have had 2192 z5707 fathers 3962 of our 2257 flesh 4561 which corrected 3810 [us], and 2532 we gave [them] reverence: 1788 z5710 shall we y5293 z0 not 3756 much 4183 rather 3123 be in subjection 5293 z5691 unto the x3588 Father 3962 of spirits, 4151 and 2532 live? 2198 z5692

12:10 For 1063 they x3588 verily 3303 for 4314 a few 3641 days 2250 chastened 3811 z5707 [us] after 2596 their own y846 x848 pleasure; 1380 z5723 but 1161 he x3588 for 1909 [our] profit, 4851 z5723 that y1519 [we] might be partakers 3335 z5629 of his 846 holiness. 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 joyous, 5479 but 235 grievous: 3077 nevertheless 1161 afterward 5305 it yieldeth 591 z5719 the peaceable 1516 fruit 2590 of righteousness 1343 unto them which are exercised 1128 z5772 thereby. 1223 846

12:12 Wherefore 1352 lift up 461 z5657 the hands 5495 which x3588 hang down, 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 feet, 4228 lest x3363 that y3363 which is lame 5560 be turned out of the way; 1624 z5652 but 1161 let it y2390 z0 rather 3123 be healed. 2390 z5686

12:14 Follow 1377 z5720 peace 1515 with 3326 all 3956 [men], and 2532 holiness, 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 fail 5302 z5723 of 575 the x3588 grace 5485 of God; 2316 lest 3361 any 5100 root 4491 of bitterness 4088 springing 5453 z5723 up 507 trouble 1776 z5725 [you], and 2532 thereby 1223 5026 many 4183 be defiled; 3392 z5686

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

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

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

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

12:20 (For 1063 they could y5342 z0 not 3756 endure 5342 z5707 that which was commanded, 1291 z5746 And if so much as 2579 a beast 2342 touch 2345 z5632 the x3588 mountain, 3735 it shall be stoned, 3036 z5701 or y2228 thrust through 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 said, 2036 z5627 I exceedingly fear 1630 1510 z5748 and 2532 quake:) 1790

12:22 But 235 ye are come y4334 z5754 unto x4334 mount 3735 Zion, 4622 and 2532 unto the city 4172 of the living 2198 z5723 God, 2316 the heavenly 2032 Jerusalem, 2419 and 2532 to an innumerable company 3461 of angels, 32

12:23 To the general assembly 3831 and 2532 church 1577 of the firstborn, 4416 which are written 583 z5772 in 1722 heaven, 3772 and 2532 to God 2316 the Judge 2923 of all, 3956 and 2532 to the spirits 4151 of just men 1342 made perfect, 5048 z5772

12:24 And 2532 to Jesus 2424 the mediator 3316 of the new 3501 covenant, 1242 and 2532 to the blood 129 of sprinkling, 4473 that speaketh 2980 z5723 better things 2909 than 3844 [that of] Abel. 6

12:25 See 991 z5720 that ye 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 we turn away from x654 him y654 z5734 x3588 that [speaketh] from 575 heaven: 3772

12:26 Whose 3739 voice 5456 then 5119 shook 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 only, 3440 but 235 also 2532 heaven. 3772

12:27 And 1161 this x3588 [word], Yet 2089 once more, 530 signifieth 1213 z5719 the x3588 removing 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 remain. 3306 z5661

12:28 Wherefore 1352 we receiving 3880 z5723 a kingdom 932 which cannot be moved, 761 let us have 2192 z5725 grace, 5485 whereby 1223 3739 we may serve 3000 z5725 God 2316 acceptably 2102 with 3326 reverence 127 and 2532 godly fear: 2124
