| 12:2 | lokynge vnto Iesus the author and fynysher of our fayth, whiche for the ioye that was set before hym, abode the crosse, and despised the same, and is set doune on the ryght hande of the throne of God. |
| 12:3 | Consydre therfore how that he endureth such speakyng agaynst him of synners least ye should be weryed and faynte in youre myndes. |
| 12:4 | For ye haue not yet resysted vnto bloude sheding stryuynge agaynst synne. |
| 12:5 | And ye haue forgotten consolacyon, which speaketh vnto you as vnto chyldren: my sonne despyse not the chastenynge of the Lorde, neyther faynte when thou arte rebuked of hym: |
| 12:6 | For whom the Lord loueth, hym he chasteneth: yea, and he scourgeth euerye sonne that he receyueth. |
| 12:7 | Yf ye endure chastenynge, God offereth hym selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is that whom the father chasteneth not? |
| 12:8 | Yf ye be not vnder correccyon (whereof all are partakers) then are ye bastardes and not sonnes. |
| 12:9 | Moreouer seynge we had fathers of oure fleshe whiche corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: shoulde we not muche rather be in subieccyon vnto the father of spyrytuall gyftes, that we myght lyue? |
| 12:10 | And they verely for a few dayes, nurtered vs after their owne pleasure, but he learneth vs vnto that whiche is profytable that we myght receyue of hys holynes. |
| 12:11 | No maner chastisynge for the presente tyme semeth to be ioyeous, but greuous: neuerthelesse afterwarde, it bryngeth the quyet frute of ryghtuousnes vnto them whiche are therein exercysed. |
| 12:12 | Stretche forth therfore agayne the handes whiche were let doune and the weake lines |
| 12:13 | & se that ye haue strayght steppes vnto your fete, least any halting, turne you oute of the way: yea let it rather be healed. |

| 12:17 | Ye know how that afterwarde when he wolde haue inheryted the blessyng, he was put by & he found no meanes for to come therby again no thoughe he desyred it with teares. |
| 12:18 | For ye are not come vnto the mounte that can be touched, and vnto burnynge fyre, nor yet to mist and darkenes, and tempest of wether, |
| 12:19 | neyther vnto the sounde of a trompe and the voyce of wordes: whiche voyce they that hearde it wyshed awaye, that the communicacyon shoulde not be spoken to them. |
| 12:20 | For they were not able to abyde that whiche was spoken. Yf a beaste had touched the mountayne, it must haue bene stoned, or thrust thorowe wt a darte: |
| 12:21 | euen so terryble was the syght which appeared, Moyses sayde: I feare and quake. |
| 12:22 | But ye are come vnto the mounte Syon, and to the cytye of the lyuyng God, the celestiall Ierusalem: and to an innumerable syghte of Angels, |
| 12:23 | and vnto the congregacyon of the first borne sonnes, which are wrytten in heauen, and to God the iudge of all, and to the spyrytes of iuste and perfecte men, |
| 12:24 | and to Iesus the medyatoure of the newe testament, and to the spryncklynge of bloude that speaketh better then the bloude of Abell. |
| 12:25 | Se that ye despyse not hym, that speaketh. For yf they escaped not whiche refused hym, that spake on earth: muche more shall we not escape, yf we turne awaye from hym that speaketh from heauen: |
| 12:26 | whose voyce then shouke the earth, and now declareth saiyng: yet ones more wyll I shake not the earth only, but also heauen. |
| 12:27 | No doubte that same that he sayeth yet ones more, signifyeth the remouyng away of those thynges, whiche are shaken as of thynges whiche haue ended theyr course: that the thynges whiche are not shaken maye remayne. |
| 12:28 | Wherfore yf we receyue a kingdom which is not moued, we haue grace, wherby we may serue God, and please hym wyth reuerence & Godly feare. |
| 12:29 | For our God is a consumynge fyre. |
| 12:1 | Wherefore, let vs also, seeing that we are compassed with so great a cloude of witnesses, cast away euery thing that presseth downe, and the sinne that hangeth so fast on: let vs runne with patience 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, and despised the shame, and is set at the right hand of the throne of God. |

| 12:4 | Ye haue not yet resisted vnto blood, striuing against sinne. |
| 12:5 | And ye haue forgotten the consolation, which speaketh vnto you as vnto children, My sonne, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him. |
| 12:6 | For whom the Lord loueth, he chasteneth: and he scourgeth euery sonne that he receiueth: |
| 12:7 | If ye endure chastening, God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes: for what sonne is it whom the father chasteneth not? |
| 12:8 | If therefore ye be without correction, whereof al are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sonnes. |
| 12:9 | Moreouer we haue had the fathers of our bodies which corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: should we not much rather be in subiection vnto the father of spirites, that we might liue? |
| 12:10 | For they verely for a few dayes chastened vs after their owne pleasure: but he chasteneth vs for our profite, that we might be partakers of his holinesse. |
| 12:11 | Now no chastising for the present seemeth to be ioyous, but, grieuous: but afterwarde, it bringeth the quiet fruite of righteousnesse, vnto them which are thereby exercised. |
| 12:12 | Wherfore lift vp your hands which hang downe, and your weake knees, |
| 12:13 | And make straight steppes vnto your feete, lest that which is halting, be turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed. |
| 12:14 | Followe peace with all men, and holinesse, without the which no man shall see ye Lord. |
| 12:15 | Take heede, that no man fall away from the grace of God: let no roote of bitternes spring vp and trouble you, lest thereby many be defiled. |
| 12:16 | Let there be no fornicator, or prophane person as Esau, which for one portion of meate solde his birthright. |
| 12:17 | For ye knowe howe that afterwarde also when he woulde haue inherited the blessing, he was reiected: for he founde no place to repentance, though he sought that blessing with teares. |
| 12:18 | For ye are not come vnto the mount that might be touched, nor vnto burning fire, nor to blacknes and darkenes, and tempest, |
| 12:19 | Neither vnto the sounde of a trumpet, and the voyce of wordes, which they that heard it, excused themselues, that the word should not be spoken to them any more, |
| 12:20 | (For they were not able to abide that which was commanded, yea, though a beast touche the mountaine, it shalbe stoned, or thrust through with a dart: |
| 12:21 | And so terrible was the sight which appeared, that Moses said, I feare and quake.) |
| 12:22 | But ye are come vnto the mount Sion, and to the citie of the liuing God, the celestiall Hierusalem, and to ye company of innumerable Angels, |
| 12:23 | And to the assemblie and congregation of the first borne, which are written in heauen, and to God the iudge of all, and to the spirits of iust and perfite men, |
| 12:24 | And to Iesus the Mediatour of the new Testament, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things then that of Abel. |
| 12:25 | See that ye despise not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not which refused him, that spake on earth: much more shall we not escape, if we turne away from him, that speaketh from heauen. |
| 12:26 | Whose voyce then shooke the earth and nowe hath declared, saying, Yet once more will I shake, not the earth onely, but also heauen. |
| 12:27 | And this worde, Yet once more, signifieth the remouing of those things which are shaken, as of things which are made with hands, that the things which are not shaken, may remaine. |
| 12:28 | Wherefore seeing we receiue a kingdome, which cannot be shaken, let vs haue grace whereby we may so serue God, that we may please him with reuerence and feare. |
| 12:29 | For euen 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. |
