Hebrews 12 📜 📕 ↷
A Call to Endurance
1 AND therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses put upon us: laying away all weight and sin that compasseth us, by patience let us run to the fight proposed unto us,📜💬📚
2 looking on the author of faith, and the consummator JESUS, who, joy being proposed unto him, sustained the Cross, contemning confusion, and sitteth on the right hand of the seat of God.📜💬📚
3 For, think diligently upon him which sustained of sinners such contradiction against himself: that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.📜💬📚
God Disciplines His Sons
4 For you have not yet resisted unto blood, repugning against sin:📜💬📚
5 and you have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh to you, as it were to children, saying, My son, neglect not the discipline of our Lord: neither be thou wearied whiles thou art rebuked of him.📜💬📚
6 For whom our Lord loveth, he chasteneth; & he scourgeth every child that he receiveth.📜💬📚
7 Persevere ye in discipline. As unto children doth God offer himself to you. For what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?📜💬📚
8 But if you be without discipline, whereof all be made partakers; then are you bastards, and not children.📜💬📚
9 Moreover the fathers indeed of our flesh we had for instructors, and we did reverence them: shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits, and live?📜💬📚
10 And they indeed for a time of few days, according to their will instructed us: but he, to that which is profitable in receiving of his sanctification.📜💬📚
11 And all discipline for the present certes seemeth not to be of joy, but of sorrow: but afterward it will render to them that are exercised by it, most peaceable fruit of justice.📜💬📚
12 For the which cause stretch up the slacked hands & the loose knees📜💬📚
13 and make straight steps to your feet: that no man halting err, but rather be healed.📜💬📚
A Call to Holiness
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness: without which no man shall see God:📜💬📚
15 looking diligently lest any man be wanting to the grace of God: lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be polluted.📜💬📚
