12:1 Wherefore 5105 seeing we also 2532 are 2192 5723 compassed about 4029 5740 2254 with so great 5118 a cloud 3509 of witnesses 3144, let 659 0 us 2249 lay aside 659 5642 every 3956 weight 3591, and 2532 the sin 266 which doth so easily beset 2139 [us], and let us run 5143 5725 with 1223 patience 5281 the race 73 that is set before 4295 5740 us 2254,

12:2 Looking 872 5723 unto 1519 Jesus 2424 the author 747 and 2532 finisher 5051 of [our] faith 4102; who 3739 for 473 the joy 5479 that was set before 4295 5740 him 846 endured 5278 5656 the cross 4716, despising 2706 5660 the shame 152, and 5037 is set down 2523 5656 at 1722 the right hand 1188 of the throne 2362 of God 2316.(author: or, beginner)

12:3 For 1063 consider 357 5663 him that endured 5278 5761 such 5108 contradiction 485 of 5259 sinners 268 against 1519 himself 846, lest 3363 ye be wearied 2577 5632 and faint 1590 5746 in your 5216 minds 5590.

12:4 Ye have 478 0 not yet 3768 resisted 478 5627 unto 3360 blood 129, striving 464 5740 against 4314 sin 266.

12:5 And 2532 ye have forgotten 1585 5769 the exhortation 3874 which 3748 speaketh 1256 5736 unto you 5213 as 5613 unto children 5207, My 3450 son 5207, despise 3643 0 not 3361 thou 3643 5720 the chastening 3809 of the Lord 2962, nor 3366 faint 1590 5744 when thou art rebuked 1651 5746 of 5259 him 846:

12:6 For 1063 whom 3739 the Lord 2962 loveth 25 5719 he chasteneth 3811 5719, and 1161 scourgeth 3146 5719 every 3956 son 5207 whom 3739 he receiveth 3858 5736.

12:7 If 1487 ye endure 5278 5719 chastening 3809, God 2316 dealeth 4374 5743 with you 5213 as 5613 with sons 5207; for 1063 what 5101 son 5207 is he 2076 5748 whom 3739 the father 3962 chasteneth 3811 5719 not 3756?

12:8 But 1161 if 1487 ye be 2075 5748 without 5565 chastisement 3809, whereof 3739 all 3956 are 1096 5754 partakers 3353, then 686 are ye 2075 5748 bastards 3541, and 2532 not 3756 sons 5207.

12:9 Furthermore 1534 3303 we have had 2192 5707 fathers 3962 of our 2257 flesh 4561 which corrected 3810 [us], and 2532 we gave [them] reverence 1788 5710: shall we 5293 0 not 3756 much 4183 rather 3123 be in subjection 5293 5691 unto the Father 3962 of spirits 4151, and 2532 live 2198 5692?

12:10 For 1063 they verily 3303 for 4314 a few 3641 days 2250 chastened 3811 5707 [us] after 2596 their own 846 pleasure 1380 5723; but 1161 he for 1909 [our] profit 4851 5723, that 1519 [we] might be partakers 3335 5629 of his 846 holiness 41.(after…: or, as seemed good, or, meet to them)

12:11 Now 1161 no 3956 3756 chastening 3809 for 4314 3303 the present 3918 5752 seemeth 1380 5719 to be 1511 5750 joyous 5479, but 235 grievous 3077: nevertheless 1161 afterward 5305 it yieldeth 591 5719 the peaceable 1516 fruit 2590 of righteousness 1343 unto them which are exercised 1128 5772 thereby 1223 846.

12:12 Wherefore 1352 lift up 461 5657 the hands 5495 which hang down 3935 5772, and 2532 the feeble 3886 5772 knees 1119;

12:13 And 2532 make 4160 5657 straight 3717 paths 5163 for your 5216 feet 4228, lest that 3363 which is lame 5560 be turned out of the way 1624 5652; but 1161 let it 2390 0 rather 3123 be healed 2390 5686.(straight: or, even)

12:14 Follow 1377 5720 peace 1515 with 3326 all 3956 [men], and 2532 holiness 38, without 5565 which 3739 no man 3762 shall see 3700 5695 the Lord 2962:

12:15 Looking diligently 1983 5723 lest 3361 any man 5100 fail 5302 5723 of 575 the grace 5485 of God 2316; lest 3361 any 5100 root 4491 of bitterness 4088 springing 5453 5723 up 507 trouble 1776 5725 [you], and 2532 thereby 1223 5026 many 4183 be defiled 3392 5686;(fail…: or, fall from)

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 5639 his 846 birthright 4415.

12:17 For 1063 ye know 2467 5759 how 3754 that afterward 2532 3347, when he would 2309 5723 have inherited 2816 5658 the blessing 2129, he was rejected 593 5681: for 1063 he found 2147 5627 no 3756 place 5117 of repentance 3341, though 2539 he sought 1567 0 it 846 carefully 1567 5660 with 3326 tears 1144.(place…: or, way to change his mind)

12:18 For 1063 ye are 4334 0 not 3756 come 4334 5754 unto the mount 3735 that might be touched 5584 5746, and 2532 that burned 2545 5772 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 5660 intreated 3868 5662 that the word 3056 should 4369 0 not 3361 0 be spoken 4369 5683 to them 846 any more 3361:

12:20 (For 1063 they could 5342 0 not 3756 endure 5342 5707 that which was commanded 1291 5746, And if so much as 2579 a beast 2342 touch 2345 5632 the mountain 3735, it shall be stoned 3036 5701, or 2228 thrust through 2700 5701 with a dart 1002:

12:21 And 2532 so 3779 terrible 5398 was 2258 5713 the sight 5324 5746, [that] Moses 3475 said 2036 5627, I exceedingly fear 1630 1510 5748 and 2532 quake 1790:)

12:22 But 235 ye are come 4334 5754 unto mount 3735 Sion 4622, and 2532 unto the city 4172 of the living 2198 5723 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 5772 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 5772,(written: or, enrolled)

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 5723 better things 2909 than 3844 [that of] Abel 6.(covenant: or, testament)

12:25 See 991 5720 that ye refuse 3868 5667 not 3361 him that speaketh 2980 5723. For 1063 if 1487 they 1565 escaped 5343 5627 not 3756 who refused him 3868 5666 that spake 5537 5723 on 1909 earth 1093, much 4183 more 3123 [shall not] we 2249 [escape], if we turn away from him 654 5734 that [speaketh] from 575 heaven 3772:

12:26 Whose 3739 voice 5456 then 5119 shook 4531 5656 the earth 1093: but 1161 now 3568 he hath promised 1861 5766, saying 3004 5723, Yet 2089 once more 530 I 1473 shake 4579 5719 not 3756 the earth 1093 only 3440, but 235 also 2532 heaven 3772.

12:27 And 1161 this [word], Yet 2089 once more 530, signifieth 1213 5719 the removing 3331 of those things that are shaken 4531 5746, as 5613 of things that are made 4160 5772, that 2443 those things which cannot 3361 be shaken 4531 5746 may remain 3306 5661.(are shaken: or, may be shaken)

12:28 Wherefore 1352 we receiving 3880 5723 a kingdom 932 which cannot be moved 761, let us have 2192 5725 grace 5485, whereby 1223 3739 we may serve 3000 5725 God 2316 acceptably 2102 with 3326 reverence 127 and 2532 godly fear 2124:(let…: or, let us hold fast)

12:29 For 2532 1063 our 2257 God 2316 [is] a consuming 2654 5723 fire 4442.
