Hebrews 12:6-29

61For those 2whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovesG25 He disciplinesG3811, And He scourgesG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 He receivesG3858.” 7It is for disciplineG3809 that you endureG5278; 3GodG2316 dealsG4374 with you as with sonsG5207; for whatG5101 sonG5207 is there whomG3739 his fatherG3962 does not disciplineG3811? 8But ifG1487 you are withoutG5565 disciplineG3809, 4of whichG3739 allG3956 have becomeG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 you are illegitimateG3541 childrenG3541 and not sonsG5207. 9FurthermoreG1534, we hadG2192 5earthlyG4561 fathersG3962 to disciplineG3810 us, and we 6respectedG1788 them; shall we not muchG4183 ratherG3123 be subjectG5293 to 7the FatherG3962 of 8spiritsG4151, and 9liveG2198? 10For they disciplinedG3811 us for a shortG3641 timeG2250 as seemedG1380 bestG1380 to them, but He disciplines us for our goodG4851, 10soG1519 that we may shareG3335 His holinessG41. 11AllG3956 disciplineG3809 11for the momentG3918 seemsG1380 not to be joyfulG5479, but sorrowfulG3077; yetG1161 to thoseG3588 who have been trainedG1128 by it, afterwardsG5305 it yieldsG591 the 12peacefulG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343.

12ThereforeG1352, 1314strengthenG461 the handsG5495 that are weakG3935 and the kneesG1119 that are feebleG3886, 13and 15makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for your feetG4228, soG2443 that the limb which is lameG5560 may not be putG1624 out of jointG1624, but ratherG3123 16be healedG2390.

1417PursueG1377 peaceG1515 with allG3956 menG3956, and the 18sanctificationG38 withoutG5565 whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 will 19seeG3708 the LordG2962. 15SeeG1983 to it that noG3361 oneG5100 20comesG5302 shortG5302 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316; that noG3361 21rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 up causesG1776 troubleG1776, and by it manyG4183 be 22defiledG3392; 16that there be noG3361G5100 23immoralG4205 orG2228 24godlessG952 personG952 likeG5613 EsauG2269, 25whoG3739 soldG591 his ownG1438 birthrightG4415 for a single mealG1035. 17For you knowG3609 that evenG2532 afterwardsG3347, 26when he desiredG2309 to inheritG2816 the blessingG2129, he was rejectedG593, for he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 for repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 for it with tearsG1144.

1827For you have not comeG4334 to 28a mountain that can be touchedG5584 and to a blazingG2545 fireG4442, and to darknessG1105 and gloomG2217 and whirlwindG2366, 19and to the 29blastG2279 of a trumpetG4536 and the 30soundG5456 of wordsG4487 whichG3739 sound was such that thoseG3588 who heardG191 31beggedG3868 that noG3361 furtherG4369 wordG3056 be spokenG4369 to them. 20For they could not bearG5342 the commandG1291, “32IfG2579 evenG2579 a beastG2342 touchesG2345 the mountainG3735, it will be stonedG3036.” 21And soG3779 terribleG5398 was the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG3004, “33I amG1510 fullG1630 of fearG1630 and tremblingG1790.” 22But 34you have comeG4334 to MountG3735 ZionG4622 and to 35the cityG4172 of 36the livingG2198 GodG2316, 37the heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, and to 38myriadsG3461 of 39angelsG32, 23to the generalG3831 assemblyG3831 and 40churchG1577 of the firstbornG4416 who 41are enrolledG583 in heavenG3772, and to GodG2316, 42the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, and to the 43spiritsG4151 of the righteousG1342 madeG5048 perfectG5048, 24and to JesusG2424, the 44mediatorG3316 of a newG3501 covenantG1242, and to the 45sprinkledG4473 bloodG129, which speaksG2980 betterG2909 thanG3844 46the blood of AbelG6.

2547SeeG991 to it that you do not refuseG3868 Him who is 48speakingG2980. For 49ifG1487 thoseG1565 did not escapeG1628 when they 50refusedG3868 him who 51warnedG5537 them on earthG1093, 52muchG4183 lessG3123 will we escape who turnG654 awayG654 from Him who 53warns from heavenG3772. 26And 54His voiceG5456 shookG4531 the earthG1093 thenG5119, but nowG3568 He has promisedG1861, sayingG3004, “55YetG2089 onceG530 moreG530 I will shakeG4579 not onlyG3440 the earthG1093, but alsoG2532 the heavenG3772.” 27ThisG3588 expression, “YetG2089 onceG530 moreG530,” denotesG1213 56the removingG3331 of thoseG3588 things which can be shakenG4531, as of createdG4160 thingsG4160, soG2443 that thoseG3588 things which cannotG3361 be shakenG4531 may remainG3306. 28ThereforeG1352, since we receiveG3880 a 57kingdomG932 which cannotG761 be shakenG761, let us 58showG2192 gratitudeG5485, by whichG3739 we may 59offerG3000 to GodG2316 an acceptableG2102 serviceG3000 with reverenceG2124 and aweG1190; 29for 60our GodG2316 is a consumingG2654 fireG4442.
