Hebrews 12 (kjv)

Wherefore^G5105 seeing we also^G2532 are^G2192 compassed about^{G4029 G2254} with so great^G5118 a cloud^G3509 of witnesses^G3144, let^G659 us^G2249 lay aside^G659 every^G3956 weight^G3591, and^G2532 the sin^G266 which doth so easily beset^G2139 us, and let us run^G5143 with^G1223 patience^G5281 the race^G73 that is set before^G4295 us^G2254,²Looking^G872 unto^G1519 Jesus^G2424 the author^G747 and^G2532 finisher^G5051 of our faith^G4102; who^G3739 for^G473 the joy^G5479 that was set before^G4295 him^G846 endured^G5278 the cross^G4716, despising^G2706 the shame^G152, and^G5037 is set down^G2523 at^G1722 the right hand^G1188 of the throne^G2362 of God^G2316.³For^G1063 consider^G357 him that endured^G5278 such^G5108 contradiction^G485 of^G5259 sinners^G268 against^G1519 himself^G846, lest^G3363 ye be wearied^G2577 and faint^G1590 in your^G5216 minds^G5590.⁴Ye have^G478 not yet^G3768 resisted^G478 unto^G3360 blood^G129, striving^G464 against^G4314 sin^G266.⁵And^G2532 ye have forgotten^G1585 the exhortation^G3874 which^G3748 speaketh^G1256 unto you^G5213 as^G5613 unto children^G5207, My^G3450 son^G5207, despise^G3643 not^G3361 thou^G3643 the chastening^G3809 of the Lord^G2962, nor^G3366 faint^G1590 when thou art rebuked^G1651 of^G5259 him^G846:⁶For^G1063 whom^G3739 the Lord^G2962 loveth^G25 he chasteneth^G3811, and^G1161 scourgeth^G3146 every^G3956 son^G5207 whom^G3739 he receiveth^G3858.⁷If^G1487 ye endure^G5278 chastening^G3809, God^G2316 dealeth^G4374 with you^G5213 as^G5613 with sons^G5207; for^G1063 what^G5101 son^G5207 is he^G2076 whom^G3739 the father^G3962 chasteneth^G3811 not^G3756?⁸But^G1161 if^G1487 ye be^G2075 without^G5565 chastisement^G3809, whereof^G3739 all^G3956 are^G1096 partakers^G3353, then^G686 are ye^G2075 bastards^G3541, and^G2532 not^G3756 sons^G5207.⁹Furthermore^{G1534 G3303} we have had^G2192 fathers^G3962 of our^G2257 flesh^G4561 which corrected^G3810 us, and^G2532 we gave them reverence^G1788: shall we^G5293 not^G3756 much^G4183 rather^G3123 be in subjection^G5293 unto the Father^G3962 of spirits^G4151, and^G2532 live^G2198?¹⁰For^G1063 they verily^G3303 for^G4314 a few^G3641 days^G2250 chastened^G3811 us after^G2596 their own^G846 pleasure^G1380; but^G1161 he for^G1909 our profit^G4851, that^G1519 we might be partakers^G3335 of his^G846 holiness^G41.¹¹Now^G1161 no^{G3956 G3756} chastening^G3809 for^{G4314 G3303} the present^G3918 seemeth^G1380 to be^G1511 joyous^G5479, but^G235 grievous^G3077: nevertheless^G1161 afterward^G5305 it yieldeth^G591 the peaceable^G1516 fruit^G2590 of righteousness^G1343 unto them which are exercised^G1128 thereby^{G1223 G846}.¹²Wherefore^G1352 lift up^G461 the hands^G5495 which hang down^G3935, and^G2532 the feeble^G3886 knees^G1119;¹³And^G2532 make^G4160 straight^G3717 paths^G5163 for your^G5216 feet^G4228, lest that^G3363 which is lame^G5560 be turned out of the way^G1624; but^G1161 let it^G2390 rather^G3123 be healed^G2390.¹⁴Follow^G1377 peace^G1515 with^G3326 all^G3956 men, and^G2532 holiness^G38, without^G5565 which^G3739 no man^G3762 shall see^G3700 the Lord^G2962:¹⁵Looking diligently^G1983 lest^G3361 any man^G5100 fail^G5302 of^G575 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316; lest^G3361 any^G5100 root^G4491 of bitterness^G4088 springing^G5453 up^G507 trouble^G1776 you, and^G2532 thereby^{G1223 G5026} many^G4183 be defiled^G3392;¹⁶Lest^G3361 there be any^G5100 fornicator^G4205, or^G2228 profane person^G952, as^G5613 Esau^G2269, who^G3739 for^G473 one^G3391 morsel of meat^G1035 sold^G591 his^G846 birthright^G4415.¹⁷For^G1063 ye know^G2467 how^G3754 that afterward^{G2532 G3347}, when he would^G2309 have inherited^G2816 the blessing^G2129, he was rejected^G593: for^G1063 he found^G2147 no^G3756 place^G5117 of repentance^G3341, though^G2539 he sought^G1567 it^G846 carefully^G1567 with^G3326 tears^G1144.¹⁸For^G1063 ye are^G4334 not^G3756 come^G4334 unto the mount^G3735 that might be touched^G5584, and^G2532 that burned^G2545 with fire^G4442, nor^G2532 unto blackness^G1105, and^G2532 darkness^G4655, and^G2532 tempest^G2366,¹⁹And^G2532 the sound^G2279 of a trumpet^G4536, and^G2532 the voice^G5456 of words^G4487; which^G3739 voice they that heard^G191 intreated^G3868 that the word^G3056 should^G4369 not^G3361 be spoken^G4369 to them^G846 any more^G3361:²⁰(For^G1063 they could^G5342 not^G3756 endure^G5342 that which was commanded^G1291, And if so much as^G2579 a beast^G2342 touch^G2345 the mountain^G3735, it shall be stoned^G3036, or^G2228 thrust through^G2700 with a dart^G1002:²¹And^G2532 so^G3779 terrible^G5398 was^G2258 the sight^G5324, that Moses^G3475 said^G2036, I exceedingly fear^{G1630 G1510} and^G2532 quake^G1790:)²²But^G235 ye are come^G4334 unto mount^G3735 Sion^G4622, and^G2532 unto the city^G4172 of the living^G2198 God^G2316, the heavenly^G2032 Jerusalem^G2419, and^G2532 to an innumerable company^G3461 of angels^G32,²³To the general assembly^G3831 and^G2532 church^G1577 of the firstborn^G4416, which are written^G583 in^G1722 heaven^G3772, and^G2532 to God^G2316 the Judge^G2923 of all^G3956, and^G2532 to the spirits^G4151 of just men^G1342 made perfect^G5048,²⁴And^G2532 to Jesus^G2424 the mediator^G3316 of the new^G3501 covenant^G1242, and^G2532 to the blood^G129 of sprinkling^G4473, that speaketh^G2980 better things^G2909 than^G3844 that of Abel^G6.²⁵See^G991 that ye refuse^G3868 not^G3361 him that speaketh^G2980. For^G1063 if^G1487 they^G1565 escaped^G5343 not^G3756 who refused him^G3868 that spake^G5537 on^G1909 earth^G1093, much^G4183 more^G3123 shall not we^G2249 escape, if we turn away from him^G654 that speaketh from^G575 heaven^G3772:²⁶Whose^G3739 voice^G5456 then^G5119 shook^G4531 the earth^G1093: but^G1161 now^G3568 he hath promised^G1861, saying^G3004, Yet^G2089 once more^G530 I^G1473 shake^G4579 not^G3756 the earth^G1093 only^G3440, but^G235 also^G2532 heaven^G3772.²⁷And^G1161 this word, Yet^G2089 once more^G530, signifieth^G1213 the removing^G3331 of those things that are shaken^G4531, as^G5613 of things that are made^G4160, that^G2443 those things which cannot^G3361 be shaken^G4531 may remain^G3306.²⁸Wherefore^G1352 we receiving^G3880 a kingdom^G932 which cannot be moved^G761, let us have^G2192 grace^G5485, whereby^{G1223 G3739} we may serve^G3000 God^G2316 acceptably^G2102 with^G3326 reverence^G127 and^G2532 godly fear^G2124:²⁹For^{G2532 G1063} our^G2257 God^G2316 is a consuming^G2654 fire^G4442.
