Hebrews 12:1-6 ▼

1 Therefore we also, having such a great cloud of witnesses encompassing us, having put off every weight and the sin easily entangling, should run through perseverance the race lying before us,

2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who in view of the joy lying before Him endured the cross, having despised its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider fully the One having endured such great contradiction by sinners against Himself, so that you? might not grow weary, fainting in your? souls.

4 Not yet did you? resist unto blood, struggling against sin,

5 and you? have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you? as to sons: “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint being reproved by Him.

6 For the Lord disciplines whom He loves, and He scourges every son whom He receives.”
