| 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. |
| 12:1 | Wherefore, seeing wee also are compassed about with so great a cloude of witnesses, let vs lay aside euery weight, & the sinne which doth so easily beset vs, and let vs runne with patience vnto the race that is set before vs, |
| 12:2 | Looking vnto Iesus the Authour and finisher of our faith, who for the ioy that was set before him, endured the crosse, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. |
| 12:3 | For consider him that indured such contradiction of sinners against himselfe, lest ye be wearied and faint in your mindes. |
| 12:4 | Yee haue not yet resisted vnto blood, striuing against sinne. |
| 12:5 | And ye haue forgotten the exhortation which speaketh vnto you as vnto children, My sonne, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. |
| 12:6 | For whome the Lord loueth hee chasteneth, and scourgeth euery sonne whom he receiueth. |
| 12:7 | If yee endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sonnes: for what sonne 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 sonnes. |
| 12:9 | Furthermore, wee haue had fathers of our flesh, which corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: shall we not much rather bee in subiection vnto the Father of Spirits, and liue? |
| 12:10 | For they verily for a fewe dayes chastened vs after their owne pleasure, but hee for our profit, that we might bee partakers of his holinesse. |
| 12:11 | Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be ioyous, but grieuous: neuerthelesse, afterward it yeeldeth the peaceable fruite of righteousnesse, vnto them which are exercised thereby. |
| 12:12 | Wherefore lift vp the handes which hang downe, and the feeble knees. |
| 12:13 | And make straight paths for your feete, lest that which is lame bee turned out of the way, but let it rather bee healed. |
| 12:14 | Followe peace with all men, and holinesse, without which no man shall see the Lord: |
| 12:15 | Looking diligently, lest any man faile of the grace of God, lest any roote of bitternesse springing vp, trouble you, and thereby many be defiled: |
| 12:16 | Lest there bee any fornicatour, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsell of meat sold his birthright. |
| 12:17 | For yee know how that afterward when hee would haue inherited the blessing, hee was reiected: for hee found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with teares. |
| 12:18 | For yee are not come vnto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor vnto blacknesse, and darknes, and tempest, |
| 12:19 | And the sound of a trumpet, and the voyce of wordes, which voyce they that heard, entreated that the word should not bee spoken to them any more. |
| 12:20 | For they could not indure that which was commaunded: And if so much as a beast touch the Mountaine, it shall be stoned, or thrust thorow with a dart. |
| 12:21 | And so terrible was the sight, that Moses sayde, I exceedingly feare, and quake. |
| 12:22 | But ye are come vnto mount Sion, and vnto the citie of the liuing God the heauenly Ierusalem, and to an innumerable company of Angels: |
| 12:23 | To the generall assembly, and Church of the first borne which are written in heauen, and to God the Iudge of all, and to the spirits of iust 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 yee refuse not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape if wee turne away from him that speaketh from heauen. |
| 12:26 | Whose voice then shooke the earth, but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth onely, but also heauen. |
| 12:27 | And this word Yet once more, signifieth the remouing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remaine. |
| 12:28 | Wherefore wee receiuing a kingdome which cannot bee moued, let vs haue grace, whereby wee may serue God acceptably, with reuerence and godly feare. |
| 12:29 | For our God is a consuming fire. |
| 12:1 | Wherfore let vs also (seynge that we are copased with so great a multitude of witnesses) laye awaye all that presseth doune and the synne that hageth on and let vs rune with paciece vnto the battayle yt is set before vs |
| 12:2 | lokynge vnto Iesus the auctor and fynnyssher of oure fayth which for the ioye that was set before him abode the crosse and despysed the shame and is set doune on the right honde of ye trone of God. |
| 12:3 | Consider therfore how that he endured suche speakinge agaynst him of synners lest ye shuld be weried and faynte in youre myndes. |
| 12:4 | For ye have not yet resisted vnto bloud sheddinge stryvinge agaynst synne. |
| 12:5 | And ye have forgotten the consolacion which speaketh vnto you as vnto chyldren: My sonne despyse not the chastenynge of the Lorde nether faynt when thou arte rebuked of him: |
| 12:6 | For whom the Lorde loveth him he chasteneth: yee and he scourgeth every sonne that he receaveth. |
| 12:7 | Yf ye endure chastninge God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is that whom the father chasteneth not? |
| 12:8 | If ye be not vnder correccio (where of all are part takers) then are ye bastardes and not sonnes. |
| 12:9 | Moreover seynge we had fathers of oure flesshe which corrected vs and we gave them reverence: shuld we not moche rather be in subieccion vnto the father of spretuall gyftes that we myght live? |
| 12:10 | And they verely for a feaue dayes nurtred vs after their awne pleasure: but he learneth vs vnto that which is proffitable that we myght receave of his holines. |
| 12:11 | No manner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyeous but greveous: neverthelesse afterwarde it bryngeth the quyet frute of rightewesnes vnto them which are therin exercysed. |
| 12:12 | Stretch forthe therfore agayne the hondes which were let doune and the weake knees |
| 12:13 | and se that ye have strayght steppes vnto youre fete lest eny haltinge turne out of ye waye: yee let it rather be healed. |
| 12:14 | Embrace peace with all men and holynes: with out the which no man shall se the Lorde. |
| 12:15 | And looke to that no man be destitue of the grace of God and that no rote of bitternes springe vp and trouble and therby many be defiled: |
| 12:16 | and that there be no fornicator or vnclene person as Esau which for one breakfast solde his birthright. |
| 12:17 | Ye knowe how that afterwarde when he wolde have inherited the blessinge he was put by and he foude no meanes to come therby agayne: no though he desyred it with teares. |
| 12:18 | For ye are not come vnto the mounte that can be touched and vnto burninge fyre nor yet to myst and darcknes and tempest of wedder |
| 12:19 | nether vnto the sounde of a trope and the voyce of wordes: which voyce they that hearde it wisshed awaye that the comunicacion shuld not be spoken to them. |
| 12:20 | For they were not able to abyde that which was spoken. If a beast had touched the mountayne it must have bene stoned or thrust thorowe with a darte: |
| 12:21 | eve so terreble was ye sight which appered. Moses sayde I feare and quake. |
| 12:22 | But ye are come vnto the moute Sion and to the citie of the livinge god the celestiall Ierusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angels |
| 12:23 | and vnto the congregacion of ye fyrst borne sonnes which are writte in heven and to God the iudge of all and to the spretes of iust and parfecte men |
| 12:24 | and to Iesus the mediator of the newe testament and to the spryncklynge of bloud that speaketh better then the bloud of Abell. |
| 12:25 | Se that ye despise not him yt speaketh. For yf they escaped not which refused him that spake on erth: moche more shall we not escape yf we turne awaye fro him yt speaketh fro heve: |
| 12:26 | whose voyce the shouke the erth and now declareth sayinge: yet once more will I shake not the erth only but also heven. |
| 12:27 | No dout yt same that he sayth yet once more signifieth the removinge a waye of those thinges which are shaken as of thinges which have ended their course: that the thynges which are not shaken maye remayne. |
| 12:28 | Wherfore if we receave a kyngdom which is not moved we have grace wherby we maye serve god and please him with reverence and godly feare. |
| 12:29 | For oure god is a consumynge fyre. |
