Hebrews 12:1-28

12:1

Wherefore
<5105>

seeing we also
<2532>

are
<2192> (5723)

compassed about
<4029> (5740) <2254>

with so great
<5118>

a cloud
<3509>

of witnesses
<3144>_,

let
<659> (0)

us
<2249>

lay aside
<659> (5642)

every
<3956>

weight
<3591>_,

and
<2532>

the sin
<266>

which doth so easily beset
<2139>

[us], and let us run
<5143> (5725)

with
<1223>

patience
<5281>

the race
<73>

that is set before
<4295> (5740)

us
<2254>_,

12:2

Looking
<872> (5723)

unto
<1519>

Jesus
<2424>

the author
<747>

and
<2532>

finisher
<5051>

of [our] faith
<4102>_;

who
<3739>

for
<473>

the joy
<5479>

that was set before
<4295> (5740)

him
<846>

endured
<5278> (5656)

the cross
<4716>_,

despising
<2706> (5660)

the shame
<152>_,

and
<5037>

is set down
<2523> (5656)

at
<1722>

the right hand
<1188>

of the throne
<2362>

of God
<2316>_.

{author: or, beginner}

12:3

For
<1063>

consider
<357> (5663)

him that endured
<5278> (5761)

such
<5108>

contradiction
<485>

of
<5259>

sinners
<268>

against
<1519>

himself
<846>_,

lest
<3363>

ye be wearied
<2577> (5632)

and faint
<1590> (5746)

in your
<5216>

minds
<5590>_.

12:4

Ye have
<478> (0)

not yet
<3768>

resisted
<478> (5627)

unto
<3360>

blood
<129>_,

striving
<464> (5740)

against
<4314>

sin
<266>_.

12:5

And
<2532>

ye have forgotten
<1585> (5769)

the exhortation
<3874>

which
<3748>

speaketh
<1256> (5736)

unto you
<5213>

as
<5613>

unto children
<5207>_,

My
<3450>

son
<5207>_,

despise
<3643> (0)

not
<3361>

thou
<3643> (5720)

the chastening
<3809>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

nor
<3366>

faint
<1590> (5744)

when thou art rebuked
<1651> (5746)

of
<5259>

him
<846>_:

12:6

For
<1063>

whom
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

loveth
<25> (5719)

he chasteneth
<3811> (5719)_,

and
<1161>

scourgeth
<3146> (5719)

every
<3956>

son
<5207>

whom
<3739>

he receiveth
<3858> (5736)_.

12:7

If
<1487>

ye endure
<5278> (5719)

chastening
<3809>_,

God
<2316>

dealeth
<4374> (5743)

with you
<5213>

as
<5613>

with sons
<5207>_;

for
<1063>

what
<5101>

son
<5207>

is he
<2076> (5748)

whom
<3739>

the father
<3962>

chasteneth
<3811> (5719)

not
<3756>_?

12:8

But
<1161>

if
<1487>

ye be
<2075> (5748)

without
<5565>

chastisement
<3809>_,

whereof
<3739>

all
<3956>

are
<1096> (5754)

partakers
<3353>_,

then
<686>

are ye
<2075> (5748)

bastards
<3541>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

sons
<5207>_.

12:9

Furthermore
<1534> <3303>

we have had
<2192> (5707)

fathers
<3962>

of our
<2257>

flesh
<4561>

which corrected
<3810>

[us], and
<2532>

we gave [them] reverence
<1788> (5710)_:

shall we
<5293> (0)

not
<3756>

much
<4183>

rather
<3123>

be in subjection
<5293> (5691)

unto the Father
<3962>

of spirits
<4151>_,

and
<2532>

live
<2198> (5692)_?

12:10

For
<1063>

they verily
<3303>

for
<4314>

a few
<3641>

days
<2250>

chastened
<3811> (5707)

[us] after
<2596>

their own
<846>

pleasure
<1380> (5723)_;

but
<1161>

he for
<1909>

[our] profit
<4851> (5723)_,

that
<1519>

[we] might be partakers
<3335> (5629)

of his
<846>

holiness
<41>_.

{after...: or, as seemed good, or, meet to them}

12:11

Now
<1161>

no
<3956> <3756>

chastening
<3809>

for
<4314> <3303>

the present
<3918> (5752)

seemeth
<1380> (5719)

to be
<1511> (5750)

joyous
<5479>_,

but
<235>

grievous
<3077>_:

nevertheless
<1161>

afterward
<5305>

it yieldeth
<591> (5719)

the peaceable
<1516>

fruit
<2590>

of righteousness
<1343>

unto them which are exercised
<1128> (5772)

thereby
<1223> <846>_.

12:12

Wherefore
<1352>

lift up
<461> (5657)

the hands
<5495>

which hang down
<3935> (5772)_,

and
<2532>

the feeble
<3886> (5772)

knees
<1119>_;

12:13

And
<2532>

make
<4160> (5657)

straight
<3717>

paths
<5163>

for your
<5216>

feet
<4228>_,

lest that
<3363>

which is lame
<5560>

be turned out of the way
<1624> (5652)_;

but
<1161>

let it
<2390> (0)

rather
<3123>

be healed
<2390> (5686)_.

{straight: or, even}

12:14

Follow
<1377> (5720)

peace
<1515>

with
<3326>

all
<3956>

[men], and
<2532>

holiness
<38>_,

without
<5565>

which
<3739>

no man
<3762>

shall see
<3700> (5695)

the Lord
<2962>_:

12:15

Looking diligently
<1983> (5723)

lest
<3361>

any man
<5100>

fail
<5302> (5723)

of
<575>

the grace
<5485>

of God
<2316>_;

lest
<3361>

any
<5100>

root
<4491>

of bitterness
<4088>

springing
<5453> (5723)

up
<507>

trouble
<1776> (5725)

[you], and
<2532>

thereby
<1223> <5026>

many
<4183>

be defiled
<3392> (5686)_;

{fail...; or, fall from}

12:16

Lest
<3361>

there [be] any
<5100>

fornicator
<4205>_,

or
<2228>

profane person
<952>_,

as
<5613>

Esau
<2269>_,

who
<3739>

for
<473>

one
<3391>

morsel of meat
<1035>

sold
<591> (5639)

his
<846>

birthright
<4415>_.

12:17

For
<1063>

ye know
<2467> (5759)

how
<3754>

that afterward
<2532> <3347>_,

when he would
<2309> (5723)

have inherited
<2816> (5658)

the blessing
<2129>_,

he was rejected
<593> (5681)_:

for
<1063>

he found
<2147> (5627)

no
<3756>

place
<5117>

of repentance
<3341>_,

though
<2539>

he sought
<1567> (0)

it
<846>

carefully
<1567> (5660)

with
<3326>

tears
<1144>_.

{place...: or, way to change his mind}

12:18

For
<1063>

ye are
<4334> (0)

not
<3756>

come
<4334> (5754)

unto the mount
<3735>

that might be touched
<5584> (5746)_,

and
<2532>

that burned
<2545> (5772)

with fire
<4442>_,

nor
<2532>

unto blackness
<1105>_,

and
<2532>

darkness
<4655>_,

and
<2532>

tempest
<2366>_,

12:19

And
<2532>

the sound
<2279>

of a trumpet
<4536>_,

and
<2532>

the voice
<5456>

of words
<4487>_;

which
<3739>

[voice] they that heard
<191> (5660)

intreated
<3868> (5662)

that the word
<3056>

should
<4369> (0)

not
<3361> (0)

be spoken
<4369> (5683)

to them
<846>

any more
<3361>_:

12:20

(For
<1063>

they could
<5342> (0)

not
<3756>

endure
<5342> (5707)

that which was commanded
<1291> (5746)_,

And if so much as
<2579>

a beast
<2342>

touch
<2345> (5632)

the mountain
<3735>_,

it shall be stoned
<3036> (5701)_,

or
<2228>

thrust through
<2700> (5701)

with a dart
<1002>_:

12:21

And
<2532>

so
<3779>

terrible
<5398>

was
<2258> (5713)

the sight
<5324> (5746)_,

[that] Moses
<3475>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

I exceedingly fear
<1630> <1510> (5748)

and
<2532>

quake
<1790>:)

12:22

But
<235>

ye are come
<4334> (5754)

unto mount
<3735>

Sion
<4622>_,

and
<2532>

unto the city
<4172>

of the living
<2198> (5723)

God
<2316>_,

the heavenly
<2032>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

and
<2532>

to an innumerable company
<3461>

of angels
<32>_,

12:23

To the general assembly
<3831>

and
<2532>

church
<1577>

of the firstborn
<4416>_,

which are written
<583> (5772)

in
<1722>

heaven
<3772>_,

and
<2532>

to God
<2316>

the Judge
<2923>

of all
<3956>_,

and
<2532>

to the spirits
<4151>

of just men
<1342>

made perfect
<5048> (5772)_,

{written: or, enrolled}

12:24

And
<2532>

to Jesus
<2424>

the mediator
<3316>

of the new
<3501>

covenant
<1242>_,

and
<2532>

to the blood
<129>

of sprinkling
<4473>_,

that speaketh
<2980> (5723)

better things
<2909>

than
<3844>

[that of] Abel
<6>_.

{covenant: or, testament}

12:25

See
<991> (5720)

that ye refuse
<3868> (5667)

not
<3361>

him that speaketh
<2980> (5723)_.

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

they
<1565>

escaped
<5343> (5627)

not
<3756>

who refused him
<3868> (5666)

that spake
<5537> (5723)

on
<1909>

earth
<1093>_,

much
<4183>

more
<3123>

[shall not] we
<2249>

[escape], if we turn away from him
<654> (5734)

that [speaketh] from
<575>

heaven
<3772>_:

12:26

Whose
<3739>

voice
<5456>

then
<5119>

shook
<4531> (5656)

the earth
<1093>_:

but
<1161>

now
<3568>

he hath promised
<1861> (5766)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Yet
<2089>

once more
<530>

I
<1473>

shake
<4579> (5719)

not
<3756>

the earth
<1093>

only
<3440>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

heaven
<3772>_.

12:27

And
<1161>

this [word], Yet
<2089>

once more
<530>_,

signifieth
<1213> (5719)

the removing
<3331>

of those things that are shaken
<4531> (5746)_,

as
<5613>

of things that are made
<4160> (5772)_,

that
<2443>

those things which cannot
<3361>

be shaken
<4531> (5746)

may remain
<3306> (5661)_.

{are shaken: or, may be shaken}

12:28

Wherefore
<1352>

we receiving
<3880> (5723)

a kingdom
<932>

which cannot be moved
<761>_,

let us have
<2192> (5725)

grace
<5485>_,

whereby
<1223> <3739>

we may serve
<3000> (5725)

God
<2316>

acceptably
<2102>

with
<3326>

reverence
<127>

and
<2532>

godly fear
<2124>_:

{let...: or, let us hold fast}
