1 Therefore let us also G2532 , seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses G3144 , lay aside ἀποθέμενοι apothemenoi G659 every weight , and the sin ἁμαρτίαν, hamartian G266 which doth so easily beset us, and let us run τρέχωμεν trechōmen G5143 with patience the race that is set G4295 before us, 3 For consider him that hath endured G5278 such τοιαύτην toiautēn G5108 gainsaying of sinners ἁμαρτωλῶν hamartōlōn G268 against himself , that ye wax not weary , fainting in your souls ψυχαῖς psuchais G5590 . 4 Ye have not yet οὔπω oupō G3768 resisted unto blood αἵματος aimatos G129 , striving against sin ἁμαρτίαν hamartian G266 : 5 and ye have forgotten the exhortation παρακλήσεως paraklēseōs G3874 which reasoneth with you as with sons υἱοῖς huiois G5207 , My son υἱέ huie G5207 , regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord κυρίου, kuriou G2962 , Nor faint ἐκλύου ekluou G1590 when G5613 thou art reproved of him ; 6 For whom the Lord κύριος, kurios G2962 loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son υἱὸν huion G5207 whom he receiveth. 7 It is for chastening that ye endure ὑπομένετε, hupomenete G5278 ; God θεός· theos G2316 dealeth with you as with sons υἱοῖς huiois G5207 ; for what son υἱὸς huios G5207 is there whom his father πατήρ; patēr G3962 chasteneth not ? 8 But if ye are G1510 without chastening, whereof all have been G1510 made partakers μέτοχοι metochoi G3353 , then are G1510 ye bastards, and not sons υἱοί huioi G5207 . 9 Furthermore , we had the fathers πατέρας pateras G3962 of our flesh σαρκὸς sarkos G4561 to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much πολὺ polu G4183 rather G3123 be in subjection ὑποταγησόμεθα hupotagēsometha G5293 unto the Father πατρὶ patri G3962 of spirits πνευμάτων pneumatōn G4151 , and live ζήσομεν; zēsomen G2198 ? 10 For they indeed G1063 for a few ὀλίγας oligas G3641 days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 chastened us as seemed G1380 good δοκοῦν dokoun G1380 to them ; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness . 11 All chastening seemeth for the present παρὸν paron G3918 to be G1510 not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable εἰρηνικὸν eirēnikon G1516 fruit καρπὸν karpon G2590 unto them that have been G1510 exercised thereby, even the fruit G2590 of righteousness δικαιοσύνης.¶ dikaiosunēs G1343 . 12 Wherefore lift up the hands χεῖρας cheiras G5495 that hang down, and the palsied knees G1119 ; 13 and make ποιεῖτε poieite G4160 straight paths for your feet G4228 , that that which is lame χωλὸν chōlon G5560 be not turned G1624 out of the way, but rather μᾶλλον. mallon G3123 be healed ἰαθῇ iathēa G2390 .
