Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discourage in your souls.
You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, does not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
Hebrews 12: 1-5
For what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
For whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.”
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?
But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and sons.
Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Hebrews 12:6-9
Partakers of His holiness
For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12: 10-11
Strengthen the hands which hang down, and feeble knees
Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and feeble knees.
What is lame may not be dislocated,
And make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Hebrews 12: 12-13
Root of bitterness
Pursue peace with all people and holiness without which no one will see the Lord
Looking carefully, lest anyone fall short of the grace of the Lord; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble and b this many become defiled.
Hebrews 12: 14-15
Morsel of food
Lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for the one morsel of food sold his birthright.
Hebrews 12: 16
