ASV_Strong : Hebrews 12
1. Therefore[G5105] let[G659] us[G2249] also[G2532], seeing we[G2254] are[G2192] compassed about[G4029] with so great[G5118] a cloud[G3509] of witnesses[G3144], lay aside[G659] every[G3956] weight[G3591], and[G2532] the sin[G266] which doth so easily beset[G2139] us[G5143], and let us run with[G1223] patience[G5281] the race[G73] that is set before[G4295] us[G2254],
2. looking[G872] unto[G1519] Jesus[G2424] the author[G747] and[G2532] perfecter[G5051] of[G4102] our faith[G4102], who[G3739] for[G473] the joy[G5479] that was set before[G4295] him[G846] endured[G5278] the cross[G4716], despising[G2706] shame[G152], and[G5037] hath sat down[G2523] at[G1722] the right hand[G1188] of the throne[G2362] of God[G2316].
3. For[G1063] consider[G357] him that hath endured[G5278] such[G5108] gainsaying[G485] of[G5259] sinners[G268] against[G1519] himself[G2443], that ye wax not[G3361] weary[G2577], fainting[G1590] in[G5590] your[G5216] souls[G5590].
4. Ye have[G478] not yet[G3768] resisted[G478] unto[G3360] blood[G129], striving[G464] against[G4314] sin[G266]:
5. and[G2532] ye have forgotten[G1585] the exhortation[G3874] which[G3748] reasoneth[G1256] with you[G5213] as[G5613] with sons[G5207], My[G3450] son[G5207], regard[G3643] not[G3361] lightly[G3643] the chastening[G3809] of the Lord[G2962], Nor[G3366] faint[G1590] when thou art reproved[G1651] of[G5259] him[G846];
6. For[G1063] whom[G3739] the Lord[G2962] loveth[G25] he chasteneth[G3811], And[G1161] scourgeth[G3146] every[G3956] son[G5207] whom[G3739] he receiveth[G3858].
7. It is for chastening[G3809] that[G1487] ye endure[G5278]; God[G2316] dealeth[G4374] with you[G5213] as[G5613] with sons[G5207]; for[G1063] what[G5101] son[G5207] is there[G2076] whom[G3739] his father[G3962] chasteneth[G3811] not[G3756]?
8. But[G1161] if[G1487] ye are[G1096] without[G5565] chastening[G3809], whereof[G3739] all[G3956] have been[G1096] made partakers[G3353], then[G686] are ye[G2075] bastards[G3541], and[G2532] not[G3756] sons[G5207].
9. Furthermore[G1534], [G3303] we had[G2192] the fathers[G3962] of[G4561] our[G2257] flesh[G4561] to chasten[G3810] us[G2532], and we gave[G1788] them reverence[G1788]: shall we[G5293] not[G3756] much[G4183] rather[G3123] be in subjection unto[G5293] the Father[G3962] of spirits[G4151], and[G2532] live[G2198]?
10. For[G1063] they[G3811] indeed[G3303] for[G4314] a few[G3641] days[G2250] chastened[G3811] us as seemed[G2596] good[G1380] to them[G846]; but[G1161] he[G3588] for[G1909] our profit[G4851], that[G1519] we may be partakers[G3335] of[G41] his[G846] holiness[G41].
11. [G1161, Ezekiel3] All[G3956] chastening[G3809] seemeth[G1380] for[G4314] the present[G3918] to be[G1511] not[G3756] joyous[G5479] but[G235] grievous[G3077]; yet[G1161] afterward[G5305] it yieldeth[G591] peaceable[G1516] fruit[G2590] unto them[G2590] that have been exercised[G1128] thereby[G846], [G1223] even the fruit of righteousness[G1343].
12. Wherefore[G1352] lift up[G461] the hands[G5495] that hang down[G3935], and[G2532] the[G1119] palsied[G3886] knees[G1119];
13. and[G2532] make[G4160] straight[G3717] paths[G5163] for your[G5216] feet[G4228], that[G3363] that[G3363] which is lame[G5560] be not turned out of the way[G1624], but[G1161] rather[G3123] be healed[G2390].
14. Follow[G1377] after peace[G1515] with[G3326] all[G3956] men[G2532], and the sanctification[G38] without[G5565] which[G3739] no man[G3762] shall see[G3700] the Lord[G2962]:
15. looking carefully[G1983] lest[G3361] there be any man[G5100] that falleth[G5302] short of[G575] the grace[G5485] of God[G2316]; lest[G3361] any[G5100] root[G4491] of bitterness[G4088] springing[G5453] up[G507] trouble[G1776] you[G2532], and thereby[G3778, 1223] the many[G4183] be defiled[G3392];
16. lest there[G3361] be any[G5100] fornicator[G4205], or[G2228] profane person[G952], as[G5613] Esau[G2269], who[G3739] for[G473] one[G1520] mess of meat[G1035] sold[G591] his[G846] own birthright[G4415].
17. For[G1063] ye know[G2467] that[G3754] even[G2532] when he afterward[G3347] desired[G2309] to inherit[G2816] the blessing[G2129], he was rejected[G593]; for[G1063] he found[G2147] no[G3756] place[G5117] for a change of mind[G3341] in his father[G2539], though he sought[G1567] it[G846] diligently[G1567] with[G3326] tears[G1144].
18. For[G1063] ye are[G4334] not[G3756] come unto[G4334] a mount[G3735] that might be touched[G5584], and[G2532] that burned[G2545] with fire[G4442], and[G2532] unto blackness[G1105], and[G2532] darkness[G4655], and[G2532] tempest[G2366],
19. and[G2532] the sound[G2279] of a trumpet[G4536], and[G2532] the voice[G5456] of words[G4487]; which[G3739] voice they that[G3361] heard[G191] entreated[G3868] that[G3361] no word[G3056] more should[G4369] be spoken[G4369] unto them[G846];
20. for[G1063] they could[G5342] not[G3756] endure[G5342] that which was enjoined[G1291], If even[G2579] a beast[G2342] touch[G2345] the mountain[G3735], it shall be stoned[G3036];
21. and[G2532] so[G3779] fearful[G5398] was[G2258] the appearance[G5324], that Moses[G3475] said[G2036], I[G1510] exceedingly fear[G1630] and[G2532] quake[G1790]:
22. but[G235] ye are come[G4334] unto mount[G3735] Zion[G4622], and[G2532] unto the city[G4172] of the living[G2198] God[G2316], the heavenly[G2032] Jerusalem[G2419], and[G2532] to innumerable hosts[G3461] of angels[G32],
23. to the general assembly[G3831] and[G2532] church[G1577] of the firstborn[G4416] who are enrolled[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],
24. and[G2532] to Jesus[G2424] the[G1242] mediator[G3316] of a new[G3501] covenant[G1242], and[G2532] to the[G1242] blood[G129] of sprinkling[G4473] that speaketh[G2980] better than[G3844] that of Abel[G6].
25. See[G991] that[G3361] ye[G991] refuse[G3868] not[G3361] him that speaketh[G2980]. For[G1063] if[G1487] they[G1565] escaped[G5343] not[G3756] when they refused[G3868] him that warned[G5537] them on[G1909] earth[G1093], much[G4183] more[G3123] shall not we[G2249] escape who turn away from[G654] him that[G3588] warneth from[G575] heaven[G3772]:
26. whose[G3739] voice[G5456] then[G5119] shook[G4531] the earth[G1093]: but[G1161] now[G3568] he hath promised[G1861], saying[G3004], Yet[G2089] once[G530] more[G2089] will I[G1473] make to tremble[G4579] not[G3756] the earth[G1093] only[G3440], but[G235] also[G2532] the heaven[G3772].
27. And[G1161] this[G3588] word[G2089], Yet once[G530] more[G2089], signifieth[G1213] the removing[G3331] of those things that are shaken[G4531], as[G5613] of things that have been made[G4160], that[G2443] those things which[G4531] are not[G3361] shaken[G4531] may remain[G3306].
28. Wherefore[G1352], receiving[G3880] a kingdom[G932] that cannot be shaken[G761], let us have[G2192] grace[G5485], whereby[G3739, 1223] we may offer service[G3000] well-pleasing[G2102] to God[G2316] with[G3326] reverence[G127] and[G2532] awe[G2124]:
29. for[G2532] our[G2257] God[G2316] is a[G1063] consuming[G2654] fire[G4442].
