Hebrews 12:1-4 ▼

1 Therefore, having so vast a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, and throwing off everything that hinders us and especially the sin that so easily entangles us, let us keep running with endurance the race set before us,

2 fixing our attention on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of the faith, who, in view of the joy set before him, endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 Think about the one who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you may not become tired and give up.

4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
