[1]WhereforeG5105 seeing we alsoG2532 areG2192[G5723] compassed aboutG4029[G5740][G2254] with so greatG5118 a cloudG3509 of witnessesG3144, letG659 usG2249 lay asideG659[G5642] everyG3956 weightG3591, andG2532 the sinG266 which doth so easily besetG2139 us, and let us runG5143[G5725] withG1223 patienceG5281 the raceG73 that is set beforeG4295[G5740] usG2254,
[2]LookingG872[G5723] untoG1519 JesusG2424 the authorG747 andG2532 finisherG5051 of our faithG4102; whoG3739 forG473 the joyG5479 that was set beforeG4295[G5740] himG846 enduredG5278[G5656] the crossG4716, despisingG2706[G5660] the shameG152, andG5037 is set downG2523[G5656] atG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG2362 of GodG2316.
[3]ForG1063 considerG357[G5663] him that enduredG5278[G5761] suchG5108 contradictionG485 ofG5259 sinnersG268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3363 ye be weariedG2577[G5632] and faintG1590[G5746] in yourG5216 mindsG5590.
[4]Ye haveG478 not yetG3768 resistedG478[G5627] untoG3360 bloodG129, strivingG464[G5740] againstG4314 sinG266.
[5]AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585[G5769] the exhortationG3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256[G5736] unto youG5213 asG5613 unto childrenG5207, MyG3450 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643[G5720] the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590[G5744] when thou art rebukedG1651[G5746] ofG5259 himG846:
[6]ForG1063 whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovethG25[G5719] he chastenethG3811[G5719], andG1161 scourgethG3146[G5719] everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receivethG3858.[G5736]
[7]IfG1487 ye endureG5278[G5719] chasteningG3809, GodG2316 dealethG4374[G5743] with youG5213 asG5613 with sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is heG2076[G5748] whomG3739 the fatherG3962 chastenethG3811[G5719] notG3756?
[8]ButG1161 ifG1487 ye beG2075[G5748] withoutG5565 chastisementG3809, whereofG3739 allG3956 areG1096[G5754] partakersG3353, thenG686 are yeG2075[G5748] bastardsG3541, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207.
[9]FurthermoreG1534[G3303] we have hadG2192[G5707] fathersG3962 of ourG2257 fleshG4561 which correctedG3810 us, andG2532 we gave them reverenceG1788[G5710]: shall weG5293 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 be in subjectionG5293[G5691] unto the FatherG3962 of spiritsG4151, andG2532 liveG2198?[G5692]
[10]ForG1063 they verilyG3303 forG4314 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastenedG3811[G5707] us afterG2596 their ownG846 pleasureG1380[G5723]; butG1161 he forG1909 our profitG4851[G5723], thatG1519 we might be partakersG3335[G5629] of hisG846 holinessG41.
[11]NowG1161 noG3956[G3756] chasteningG3809 forG4314[G3303] the presentG3918[G5752] seemethG1380[G5719] to beG1511[G5750] joyousG5479, butG235 grievousG3077: neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldethG591[G5719] the peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 unto them which are exercisedG1128[G5772] therebyG1223.[G846]
[12]WhereforeG1352 lift upG461[G5657] the handsG5495 which hang downG3935[G5772], andG2532 the feebleG3886[G5772] kneesG1119;
[13]AndG2532 makeG4160[G5657] straightG3717 pathsG5163 for yourG5216 feetG4228, lest thatG3363 which is lameG5560 be turned out of the wayG1624[G5652]; butG1161 let itG2390 ratherG3123 be healedG2390.[G5686]
[14]FollowG1377[G5720] peaceG1515 withG3326 allG3956 men, andG2532 holinessG38, withoutG5565 whichG3739 no manG3762 shall seeG3700[G5695] the LordG2962:
[15]Looking diligentlyG1983[G5723] lestG3361 any manG5100 failG5302[G5723] ofG575 the graceG5485 of GodG2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453[G5723] upG507 troubleG1776[G5725] you, andG2532 therebyG1223[G5026] manyG4183 G3392be defiledG5686
[16]LestG3361 there be anyG5100 fornicatorG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG3391 morsel of meatG1035 soldG591[G5639] hisG846 birthrightG4415.
[17]ForG1063 ye knowG2467[G5759] howG3754 that afterwardG2532[G3347], when he wouldG2309[G5723] have inheritedG2816[G5658] the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593[G5681]: forG1063 he foundG2147[G5627] noG3756 placeG5117 of repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 itG846 carefullyG1567[G5660] withG3326 tearsG1144.
[18]ForG1063 ye areG4334 notG3756 comeG4334[G5754] unto the mountG3735 that might be touchedG5584[G5746], andG2532 that burnedG2545[G5772] with fireG4442, norG2532 unto blacknessG1105, andG2532 darknessG4655, andG2532 tempestG2366,
[19]AndG2532 the soundG2279 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 the voiceG5456 of wordsG4487; whichG3739 voice they that heardG191[G5660] intreatedG3868[G5662] that the wordG3056 shouldG4369 notG3361 be spokenG4369[G5683] to themG846 any moreG3361:
[20](ForG1063 they couldG5342 notG3756 endureG5342[G5707] that which was commandedG1291[G5746], And if so much asG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345[G5632] the mountainG3735, it shall be stonedG3036[G5701], orG2228 thrust throughG2700[G5701] with a dartG1002:
[21]AndG2532 soG3779 terribleG5398 wasG2258[G5713] the sightG5324[G5746], that MosesG3475 saidG2036[G5627], I exceedingly fearG1630[G1510][G5748] andG2532 quakeG1790:)
[22]ButG235 ye are comeG4334[G5754] unto mountG3735 SionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of the livingG2198[G5723] GodG2316, the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32,
[23]To the general assemblyG3831 andG2532 churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416, which are writtenG583[G5772] inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, andG2532 to the spiritsG4151 of just menG1342 G5048made perfectG5772
[24]AndG2532 to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of the newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 to the bloodG129 of sprinklingG4473, that speakethG2980[G5723] better thingsG2909 thanG3844 that of AbelG6.
[25]SeeG991[G5720] that ye refuseG3868[G5667] notG3361 him that speakethG2980[G5723]. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343[G5627] notG3756 who refused himG3868[G5666] that spakeG5537[G5723] onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654[G5734] that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
[26]WhoseG3739 voiceG5456 thenG5119 shookG4531[G5656] the earthG1093: butG1161 nowG3568 he hath promisedG1861[G5766], sayingG3004[G5723], YetG2089 once moreG530 IG1473 shakeG4579[G5719] notG3756 the earthG1093 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 heavenG3772.
[27]AndG1161 this word, YetG2089 once moreG530, signifiethG1213[G5719] the removingG3331 of those things that are shakenG4531[G5746], asG5613 of things that are madeG4160[G5772], thatG2443 those things which cannotG3361 be shakenG4531[G5746] may remainG3306.[G5661]
[28]WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880[G5723] a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192[G5725] graceG5485, wherebyG1223[G3739] we may serveG3000[G5725] GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124:
[29]ForG2532[G1063] ourG2257 GodG2316 is a consumingG2654[G5723] fireG4442.
