Hebrews 12
|
- 12:1
Wherefore seeing we
also
are compassed
about
* with so
great a
cloud of
witnesses,
let
us lay
aside
every
weight,
and the
sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us
run
with
patience the
race that is set
before
us,
|
- 12:2
Looking
unto
Jesus the
author
and
finisher of our
faith;
who
for the
joy that was set
before
him
endured the
cross,
despising the
shame,
and is set
down
at the right
hand of the
throne of
God.
|
- 12:3
For
consider him that
endured
such
contradiction
of
sinners
against
himself,
lest ye be
wearied and
faint in
your
minds.
|
- 12:4 Ye
have not
yet
resisted
unto
blood,
striving
against
sin.
|
- 12:5
And ye have
forgotten the
exhortation
which
speaketh unto
you
as unto
children,
My
son,
despise
not
thou the
chastening of the
Lord,
nor
faint when thou art
rebuked
of
him:
|
- 12:6
For
whom the
Lord
loveth he
chasteneth,
and
scourgeth
every
son
whom he
receiveth.
|
- 12:7
If ye
endure
chastening,
God
dealeth with
you
as with
sons;
for
what
son is
he
whom the
father
chasteneth
not?
|
- 12:8
But
if ye
be
without
chastisement,
whereof
all
are
partakers,
then are
ye
bastards,
and
not
sons.
|
- 12:9
Furthermore
we have
had
fathers of
our
flesh which
corrected us,
and we gave them
reverence: shall
we
not
much
rather be in
subjection unto the
Father of
spirits,
and
live ?
|
- 12:10
For they
verily
for a
few
days
chastened us
after their
own
pleasure;
but he
for our
profit,
that we might be
partakers of
his
holiness.
|
- 12:11
Now
no
*
chastening
for
the
present
seemeth to
be
joyous,
but
grievous:
nevertheless
afterward it
yieldeth the
peaceable
fruit of
righteousness unto them which are
exercised
thereby
*.
|
- 12:12
Wherefore lift
up the
hands which hang
down,
and the
feeble
knees;
|
- 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.
|
- 12:14
Follow
peace
with
all men,
and
holiness,
without
which no
man shall
see the
Lord:
|
- 12:15 Looking
diligently
lest any
man
fail
of the
grace of
God;
lest
any
root of
bitterness
springing
up
trouble you,
and
thereby
*
many be
defiled;
|
- 12:16
Lest there be
any
fornicator,
or profane
person,
as
Esau,
who
for
one morsel of
meat
sold
his
birthright.
|
- 12:17
For ye
know
how that
afterward
*, when he
would have
inherited the
blessing, he was
rejected:
for he
found
no
place of
repentance,
though he
sought
it
carefully
with
tears.
|
- 12:18
For ye
are
not
come unto the
mount that might be
touched,
and that
burned with
fire,
nor unto
blackness,
and
darkness,
and
tempest,
|
- 12:19
And the
sound of a
trumpet,
and the
voice of
words;
which voice they that
heard
intreated that the
word
should
not be
spoken to
them any
more:
|
- 12:20
(For they
could
not
endure that which was
commanded, And if so much
as a
beast
touch the
mountain, it shall be
stoned,
or thrust
through with a
dart:
|
- 12:21
And
so
terrible
was the
sight, that
Moses
said, I exceedingly
fear
*
and
quake:)
|
- 12:22
But ye are
come unto
mount
Sion,
and unto the
city of the
living
God, the
heavenly
Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable
company of
angels,
|
- 12:23 To the general
assembly
and
church of the
firstborn, which are
written
in
heaven,
and to
God the
Judge of
all,
and to the
spirits of just
men made
perfect,
|
- 12:24
And to
Jesus the
mediator of the
new
covenant,
and to the
blood of
sprinkling, that
speaketh better
things
than that of
Abel.
|
- 12:25
See that ye
refuse
not him that
speaketh.
For
if
they
escaped
not who refused
him that
spake
on
earth,
much
more shall not
we escape, if we turn away from
him that speaketh
from
heaven:
|
- 12:26
Whose
voice
then
shook the
earth:
but
now he hath
promised,
saying,
Yet once
more
I
shake
not the
earth
only,
but
also
heaven.
|
- 12:27
And this word,
Yet once
more,
signifieth the
removing of those things that are
shaken,
as of things that are
made,
that those things which
cannot be
shaken may
remain.
|
- 12:28
Wherefore we
receiving a
kingdom which cannot be
moved, let us
have
grace,
whereby
we may
serve
God
acceptably
with
reverence
and godly
fear:
|
- 12:29
For
*
our
God is a
consuming
fire.
