12:1 Wherefore,
seeing
wee
also
are
compassed
about
with
so
great
a
cloude
of
witnesses,
let
vs
lay
aside
euery
weight,
&
the
sinne
which
doth
so
easily
beset
vs,
and
let
vs
runne
with
patience
vnto
the
race
that
is
set
before
vs,
12:2 Looking
vnto
Iesus
the
Authour
and
finisher
of
our
faith,
who
for
the
ioy
that
was
set
before
him,
endured
the
crosse,
despising
the
shame,
and
is
set
down
at
the
right
hand
of
the
throne
of
God.
12:3 For
consider
him
that
indured
such
contradiction
of
sinners
against
himselfe,
lest
ye
be
wearied
and
faint
in
your
mindes.
12:4 Yee
haue
not
yet
resisted
vnto
blood,
striuing
against
sinne.
12:5 And
ye
haue
forgotten
the
exhortation
which
speaketh
vnto
you
as
vnto
children,
My
sonne,
despise
not
thou
the
chastening
of
the
Lord,
nor
faint
when
thou
art
rebuked
of
him.
12:6 For
whome
the
Lord
loueth
hee
chasteneth,
and
scourgeth
euery
sonne
whom
he
receiueth.
12:7 If
yee
endure
chastening,
God
dealeth
with
you
as
with
sonnes:
for
what
sonne
is
he
whom
the
father
chasteneth
not
12:8 But
if
ye
be
without
chastisement,
whereof
all
are
partakers,
then
are
ye
bastards,
and
not
sonnes.
12:9 Furthermore,
wee
haue
had
fathers
of
our
flesh,
which
corrected
vs,
and
we
gaue
them
reuerence:
shall
we
not
much
rather
bee
in
subiection
vnto
the
Father
of
Spirits,
and
liue
12:10 For
they
verily
for
a
fewe
dayes
chastened
vs
after
their
owne
pleasure,
but
hee
for
our
profit,
that
we
might
bee
partakers
of
his
holinesse.
12:11 Now
no
chastening
for
the
present
seemeth
to
be
ioyous,
but
grieuous:
neuerthelesse,
afterward
it
yeeldeth
the
peaceable
fruite
of
righteousnesse,
vnto
them
which
are
exercised
thereby.
12:12 Wherefore
lift
vp
the
handes
which
hang
downe,
and
the
feeble
knees.
12:13 And
make
straight
paths
for
your
feete,
lest
that
which
is
lame
bee
turned
out
of
the
way,
but
let
it
rather
bee
healed.
12:14 Followe
peace
with
all
men,
and
holinesse,
without
which
no
man
shall
see
the
Lord:
12:15 Looking
diligently,
lest
any
man
faile
of
the
grace
of
God,
lest
any
roote
of
bitternesse
springing
vp,
trouble
you,
and
thereby
many
be
defiled:
12:16 Lest
there
bee
any
fornicatour,
or
profane
person,
as
Esau,
who
for
one
morsell
of
meat
sold
his
birthright.
12:17 For
yee
know
how
that
afterward
when
hee
would
haue
inherited
the
blessing,
hee
was
reiected:
for
hee
found
no
place
of
repentance,
though
he
sought
it
carefully
with
teares.
12:18 For
yee
are
not
come
vnto
the
mount
that
might
be
touched,
and
that
burned
with
fire,
nor
vnto
blacknesse,
and
darknes,
and
tempest,
12:19 And
the
sound
of
a
trumpet,
and
the
voyce
of
wordes,
which
voyce
they
that
heard,
entreated
that
the
word
should
not
bee
spoken
to
them
any
more.
12:20 For
they
could
not
indure
that
which
was
commaunded:
And
if
so
much
as
a
beast
touch
the
Mountaine,
it
shall
be
stoned,
or
thrust
thorow
with
a
dart.
12:21 And
so
terrible
was
the
sight,
that
Moses
sayde,
I
exceedingly
feare,
and
quake.
12:22 But
ye
are
come
vnto
mount
Sion,
and
vnto
the
citie
of
the
liuing
God
the
heauenly
Ierusalem,
and
to
an
innumerable
company
of
Angels:
12:23 To
the
generall
assembly,
and
Church
of
the
first
borne
which
are
written
in
heauen,
and
to
God
the
Iudge
of
all,
and
to
the
spirits
of
iust
men
made
perfect:
12:24 And
to
Iesus
the
mediatour
of
the
new
Couenant,
and
to
the
blood
of
sprinckling,
that
speaketh
better
things
then
that
of
Abel.
12:25 See
that
yee
refuse
not
him
that
speaketh:
for
if
they
escaped
not
who
refused
him
that
spake
on
earth,
much
more
shall
not
we
escape
if
wee
turne
away
from
him
that
speaketh
from
heauen.
12:26 Whose
voice
then
shooke
the
earth,
but
now
he
hath
promised,
saying,
Yet
once
more
I
shake
not
the
earth
onely,
but
also
heauen.
12:27 And
this
word
Yet
once
more,
signifieth
the
remouing
of
those
things
that
are
shaken,
as
of
things
that
are
made,
that
those
things
which
cannot
be
shaken
may
remaine.
12:28 Wherefore
wee
receiuing
a
kingdome
which
cannot
bee
moued,
let
vs
haue
grace,
whereby
wee
may
serue
God
acceptably,
with
reuerence
and
godly
feare.
12:29 For
our
God
is
a
consuming
fire.
