Hebrews - Chapter: 12


12:1	Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us,
12:2	looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;
12:3	for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.
12:4	Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving;
12:5	and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,
12:6	for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;'
12:7	if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
12:8	and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
12:9	Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising `us', and we were reverencing `them'; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
12:10	for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
12:11	and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.
12:12	Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up;
12:13	and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
12:14	peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord,
12:15	looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;
12:16	lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his birthright,
12:17	for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it.
12:18	For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
12:19	and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added to them,
12:20	for they were not bearing that which is commanded, `And if a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an arrow shot through,'
12:21	and, (so terrible was the sight,) Moses said, `I am fearful exceedingly, and trembling.'
12:22	But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
12:23	to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,
12:24	and to a mediator of a new covenant -- Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
12:25	See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely speaking -- much less we who do turn away from him who `speaketh' from heaven,
12:26	whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'
12:27	and this -- `Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;
12:28	wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;
12:29	for also 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.


12:1	Wherfore seynge we haue so greate a multitude of witnesses aboute vs let vs also laye awaye all yt presseth downe, and the synne that hangeth on, and let vs runne with pacience vnto the batayl that is set before vs,
12:2	lokynge vnto Iesus ye auctor and fynissher of faith: which whan the ioye was layed before him, abode the crosse, and despysed the shame, and is set downe on ye righte hade of ye trone of God.
12:3	Cosidre him therfore that endured soch speakinge agaynst hi of synners, lest ye be weery and faynte in youre myndes:
12:4	for ye haue not yet resisted vnto bloude, stryuynge agaynst synne,
12:5	and haue forgotten the consolacion, which speaketh vnto you as vnto children: My sonne, despyse not the chastenynge off the LORDE, nether faynte whan thou art rebuked of him:
12:6	for who the LORDE loueth, him he chasteneth, yee and he scourgeth euery sonne that he receaueth.
12:7	Yf ye endure chastenynge, God offereth himselfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is that, whom the father chasteneth not?
12:8	Yf ye be not vnder correccion (wherof all are partakers) then are ye bastardes and not sonnes.
12:9	Morouer seyenge we haue had fathers off oure flesh which corrected vs, & we gaue them reuerence, shulde we not then moch rather be in subieccion vnto ye father of spirituall giftes, yt we mighte lyue?
12:10	And they verely for a few dayes nurtred vs after their awne pleasure: but he lerneth vs vnto yt which is profitable, that we mighte receaue of his holynes.
12:11	No maner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyous, but greuous: neuertheles afterwarde it bringeth the quyete frute of righteousnes, vnto them which are exercysed therby.
12:12	Life vp therfore the handes which were let downe, and the weake knees,
12:13	and se that ye haue straight steppes vnto youre fete, lest eny haltinge turne you out of the waye, yee let it rather be healed.
12:14	Folowe after peace with all men, and holynes, without the which no man shal se the LORDE,
12:15	ad loke well, that no ma be destitute of the grace of God, lest there sprynge vp eny bytter rote, and cause disquyetnes, and therby many be defyled:
12:16	that there be no whoremonger, or vncleane person, as Esau, which for one meate sake solde his byrth righte.
12:17	For ye knowe, how that afterwarde whan he wolde haue inhereted the blessynge, he was put by: for he foude no place of repetaunce, though he desyred (ye blessynge) with teares.
12:18	For ye are not come to ye mout that can be touched and burneth with fyre, nether yet to myst and darcknes, and tempest of wedder,
12:19	nether to the sounde of the trompe, and ye voyce of wordes: which they that herde, wysshed awaye, that the worde shulde not be spoken to them,
12:20	for they were not able to abyde that which was spoken. And yf a beest had touched the mountayne, it must haue bene stoed, or thrust thorow with a darte.
12:21	And so terrible was the sighte which appeared, that Moses sayde: I feare and quake.
12:22	But ye are come to the mount Sion, and to the cite of the lyuynge God, to the celestiall Ierusalem, and to the multitude of many thousande angels,
12:23	and vnto the congregacion of the first borne, which are wrytten in heauen, and to God the iudge of all, and to the spretes of iust and perfecte men,
12:24	and to Iesus the mediatoure of the new Testament, and to the sprenklynge off bloude, that speaketh better then the bloude of Abel.
12:25	Se that ye despyse not him that speaketh vnto you: for yf they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth, moch more shal we not escape, yf we turne awaye from him that speaketh from heaue:
12:26	whose voyce shoke the earth at that tyme. But now promyseth he, & sayeth: Yet once more wyl I shake, not the earth onely, but also heauen.
12:27	No doute that same that he sayeth yet once more, signifieth the remouynge awaye of those thinges which are shaken, as off thinges which are made: that ye thinges which are not shake, maye remayne.
12:28	Wherfore, seynge we receaue the vnmoueable kyngdome, we haue grace, wherby we maye serue God, & please him, with reuerence and godly feare.
12:29	For oure God is a consumynge fyre.
