Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:1 - Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, 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,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:2 - looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Pro 3:11, 12 )
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:3 - For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls.

A Father's Discipline

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:4 - Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:5 - and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons,
My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord,
Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:6 -
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:7 - It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:8 - But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:9 - Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:10 - For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:11 - All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.
(Gen 25:29–34; 27:30–40 )
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:12 - Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:13 - and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:14 - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:15 - looking carefully lest there be any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:16 - lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:17 - For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind in his father, though he sought it diligently with tears.

Contrast of Sinai and Zion

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:18 - For ye are not come unto a mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:19 - and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:20 - for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:21 - and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:22 - but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:23 - to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:24 - and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than that of Abel.

The Unshaken Kingdom

Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:25 - See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven:
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:26 - whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:27 - And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:28 - Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe:
Unchecked Copy BoxHeb 12:29 - for our God is a consuming fire.
