1 Let us also G2532 therefore , having so great a cloud of witnesses G3144 surrounding us, laying aside ἀποθέμενοι apothemenoi G659 every weight , and sin ἁμαρτίαν, hamartian G266 which so easily entangles us, run τρέχωμεν trechōmen G5143 with endurance ὑπομονῆς hupomonēs G5281 the race that lies before us, 2 looking stedfastly on Jesus Ἰησοῦν, Iēsoun G2424 the leader and completer of faith πίστεως pisteōs G4102 : who , in view of the joy χαρᾶς charas G5479 lying before him , endured G5278 [ the ] cross σταυρὸν stauron G4716 , having despised [ the ] shame αἰσχύνης aischunēs G152 , and is set G4295 down κεκάθικεν.¶ kekathiken G2523 at the right δεξιᾷ dexia G1188 hand G1188 of the throne θρόνου thronou G2362 of God θεοῦ theou G2316 . 3 For consider well him who endured G5278 so ἵνα ina G2443 great contradiction from sinners ἁμαρτωλῶν hamartōlōn G268 against himself , that ye be not weary , fainting in your minds G5590 . 4 Ye have not yet οὔπω oupō G3768 resisted unto blood αἵματος aimatos G129 , wrestling against sin ἁμαρτίαν hamartian G266 . 5 And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation παρακλήσεως paraklēseōs G3874 which speaks to you as to sons υἱοῖς huiois G5207 : My son υἱέ huie G5207 , despise not [ the ] chastening of [ the ] Lord κυρίου, kuriou G2962 , nor faint ἐκλύου ekluou G1590 [ when G5613 ] reproved by him ; 6 for whom [ the ] Lord κύριος, kurios G2962 loves G25 he chastens, and scourges every son υἱὸν huion G5207 whom he receives G3858 . 7 Ye endure ὑπομένετε, hupomenete G5278 for chastening, God θεός· theos G2316 conducts himself towards you as towards sons υἱοῖς huiois G5207 ; for who is the son υἱὸς huios G5207 that the father πατήρ; patēr G3962 chastens not ? 8 But if ye are G1510 without chastening, of which all have been G1510 made partakers μέτοχοι metochoi G3353 , then are G1510 ye bastards, and not sons υἱοί huioi G5207 . 9 Moreover we have had the fathers πατέρας pateras G3962 of our flesh σαρκὸς sarkos G4561 as chasteners, and we reverenced [them]; shall we not much πολὺ polu G4183 rather G3123 be in subjection ὑποταγησόμεθα hupotagēsometha G5293 to the Father πατρὶ patri G3962 of spirits πνευμάτων pneumatōn G4151 , and live ζήσομεν; zēsomen G2198 ? 10 For they indeed G1063 chastened for a few ὀλίγας oligas G3641 days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 , as seemed G1380 good δοκοῦν dokoun G1380 to them ; but he for profit, in order to the partaking of his holiness . 11 But no chastening at the time seems δοκεῖ dokei G1380 to be G1510 [matter] of joy χαρᾶς charas G5479 , but of grief λύπης, lupēs G3077 ; but afterwards yields [ the ] peaceful fruit καρπὸν karpon G2590 of righteousness δικαιοσύνης.¶ dikaiosunēs G1343 to those exercised by it . 12 Wherefore lift up the hands χεῖρας cheiras G5495 that hang down, and the failing knees G1119 ; 14 Pursue διώκετε diōkete G1377 peace εἰρήνην eirēnēn G1515 with all , and holiness ἁγιασμόν, hagiasmon G38 , without which no one οὐδεὶς oudeis G3762 shall see G3708 the Lord κύριον· kurion G2962 : 15 watching lest μή mē G3361 [ there be ] any one G5100 who lacks the grace χάριτος charitos G5485 of God θεοῦ, theou G2316 ; lest μή mē G3361 any root ῥίζα rhiza G4491 of bitterness πικρίας pikrias G4088 springing up trouble [ you ], and many πολλοί· polloi G4183 be defiled by it ; 16 lest μή mē G3361 [ there be ] any fornicator, or profane βέβηλος bebēlos G952 person , as Esau Ἠσαῦ, Ēsau G2269 , who for one μιᾶς mias G1520 meal sold his birthright ; 17 for ye know that also G2532 afterwards , desiring G2309 to inherit κληρονομῆσαι klēronomēsai G2816 the blessing εὐλογίαν eulogian G2129 , he was rejected ἀπεδοκιμάσθη· apedokimasthē G593 , ( for he found G2147 no place τόπον topon G5117 for repentance μετανοίας metanoias G3341 ) although he sought it earnestly with tears δακρύων dakruōn G1144 . 18 For ye have not come προσεληλύθατε proselēluthate G4334 to [ the mount] that might be touched G5584 and was all on fire πυρὶ puri G4442 , and to obscurity, and darkness G2217 , and tempest, 19 and trumpet's sound G5456 , and voice φωνῇ phōnēa G5456 of words λόγον· logon G3056 ; which they that heard G191 , excusing themselves , declined [ the ] word G3056 being addressed to them any more : 20 ( for they were not able to bear ἔφερον epheron G5342 what was enjoined: And if a beast θηρίον thērion G2342 should touch θίγῃ thigē G2345 the mountain ὄρους, orous G3735 , it shall be stoned ; 22 but ye have come προσεληλύθατε proselēluthate G4334 to mount ὄρει orei G3735 Zion Σιὼν Siōn G4622 ; and to [ the ] city πόλει polei G4172 of [ the ] living G2198 God θεοῦ theou G2316 , heavenly ἐπουρανίῳ epouraniō G2032 Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλὴμ Ierousalēm G2419 ; and to myriads μυριάσιν muriasin G3461 of angels ἀγγέλων angelōn G32 , 23 the universal gathering; and to [ the ] assembly G1577 of the firstborn πρωτοτόκων prōtotokōn G4416 [ who are ] registered in heaven οὐρανοῖς ouranois G3772 ; and to God θεῷ theō G2316 , judge κριτῇ kritēa G2923 of all ; and to [ the ] spirits πνεύμασιν pneumasin G4151 of just G1342 [ men ] made G5048 perfect τετελειωμένων teteleiōmenōn G5048 ; 24 and to Jesus Ἰησοῦ Iēsou G2424 , mediator μεσίτῃ mesitē G3316 of a new νέας neas G3501 covenant διαθήκης diathēkēs G1242 ; and to [ the ] blood αἵματι aimati G129 of sprinkling, speaking λαλοῦντι lalounti G2980 better than Abel Ἅβελ.¶ Habel G6 . 25 See G991 that ye refuse G3868 not him that speaks λαλοῦντα· lalounta G2980 . For if those did not escape G1628 who had refused him who uttered the oracles on earth γῆς gēs G1093 , much πολὺ polu G4183 more G3123 we who turn G654 away ἀποστρεφόμενοι, apostrephomenoi G654 from him [ who does so ] from heaven οὐρανῶν ouranōn G3772 : 27 But this Yet once ἅπαξ, hapax G530 , signifies the removing of what is shaken σαλευομένων saleuomenōn G4531 , as being made G4160 , that what is not shaken σαλευόμενα. saleuomena G4531 may remain μείνῃ meinē G3306 . 28 Wherefore let us, receiving a kingdom βασιλείαν basileian G932 not to be shaken , have grace χάριν charin G5485 , by which let us serve λατρεύωμεν latreuōmen G3000 God θεῷ theō G2316 acceptably with reverence εὐλαβείας eulabeias G2124 and fear. ← Hebrews 11 Hebrews 13 → Commentaries on Hebrews 12 Darby Bible — 1889 — Public Domain
