Hebrews 12:1-13

1ThereforeG5105, since weG1473 areG2192 surrounded byG4029G1473 such a greatG5118 cloudG3509 of witnessesG3144, let us throw offG659 everyG3956 encumbranceG3591 andG2532 theG3588 sinG266 that so easily entanglesG2139, and let us runG5143 withG1223 enduranceG5281 theG3588 raceG73 set out forG4295 usG1473. 2Let us fix our eyesG872 onG1519 JesusG2424, theG3588 authorG7471 andG2532 perfecterG5051 ofG3588 our faithG4102, whoG3739 forG473 theG3588 joyG5479 set beforeG4295 HimG846 enduredG5278 the crossG4716, scorningG2706 its shameG152, andG5037 sat downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of theG3588 throneG2362 of GodG2316. 3ConsiderG357 Him whoG3588 enduredG5278 suchG5108 hostilityG485G1519G1438 fromG5259 sinnersG268, so thatG2443 you will not grow wearyG3361G2577 and lose heartG1590G3588G4771G5590.

4In your struggleG464 againstG4314 sinG266, you have not yet resistedG3768G478 to the point ofG3360 shedding your bloodG129. 5AndG2532 you have forgottenG1585 theG3588 exhortationG3874 thatG3748 addressesG1256 youG4771 asG5613 sonsG5207:

7Endure sufferingG5278 asG1519 disciplineG3809; GodG2316 is treatingG4374 youG4771 asG5613 sonsG5207. ForG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is not disciplinedG3756G3811 by his fatherG3962? 8IfG1487 you do not experienceG1510G5565 disciplineG3809 likeG3739 everyoneG3956 elseG1096G3353, thenG686 you areG1510 illegitimate childrenG3541 andG2532 not trueG3756 sonsG5207. 9FurthermoreG1534G3303, we have all hadG2192 earthlyG1473G3588G4561 fathersG3962 who disciplinedG3810 us, andG2532 we respectedG1788 them. Should we notG3756 muchG4183 moreG1161G3123 submitG5293 to theG3588 FatherG3962 ofG3588 our spiritsG4151 andG2532 liveG2198?

Our fathers disciplinedG3811 us forG4314 a shortG3303G3588G3641 timeG2250 asG2596 theyG846 thought bestG1380, butG1161 God disciplines us forG1909 our goodG4851, so thatG1519 we may shareG3335 in HisG846 holinessG41. 11NoG3956G3756 disciplineG3809 seemsG1380 enjoyableG1510G5479 atG4314 theG3588 timeG3918, butG235 painfulG3077. Later onG5305, howeverG1161, it yieldsG591 a harvestG2590 of righteousnessG1343 and peaceG15163 to those whoG3588 have been trainedG1128 byG1223 itG846.

12ThereforeG1352 strengthenG461 your limpG3935 handsG5495 andG2532 weakG3886 kneesG1119.4 13MakeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 forG3588 yourG4771 feetG4228,5 so thatG2443 theG3588 lameG5560 may notG3361 be disabledG1624, butG1161 ratherG3123 healedG2390.
