Hebrews 12:9-15

9FurthermoreG1534, we hadG2192 1earthlyG4561 fathersG3962 to disciplineG3810 us, and we 2respectedG1788 them; shall we not muchG4183 ratherG3123 be subjectG5293 to 3the FatherG3962 of 4spiritsG4151, and 5liveG2198? 10For they disciplinedG3811 us for a shortG3641 timeG2250 as seemedG1380 bestG1380 to them, but He disciplines us for our goodG4851, 6soG1519 that we may shareG3335 His holinessG41. 11AllG3956 disciplineG3809 7for the momentG3918 seemsG1380 not to be joyfulG5479, but sorrowfulG3077; yetG1161 to thoseG3588 who have been trainedG1128 by it, afterwardsG5305 it yieldsG591 the 8peacefulG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343.

12ThereforeG1352, 910strengthenG461 the handsG5495 that are weakG3935 and the kneesG1119 that are feebleG3886, 13and 11makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for your feetG4228, soG2443 that the limb which is lameG5560 may not be putG1624 out of jointG1624, but ratherG3123 12be healedG2390.

1413PursueG1377 peaceG1515 with allG3956 menG3956, and the 14sanctificationG38 withoutG5565 whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 will 15seeG3708 the LordG2962. 15SeeG1983 to it that noG3361 oneG5100 16comesG5302 shortG5302 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316; that noG3361 17rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 up causesG1776 troubleG1776, and by it manyG4183 be 18defiledG3392;
