Hebrews 12
Revised Literal Translation
1WhereforeG5105 seeingG2192 weG1473 alsoG2532 are compassed about withG4029 so greatG5118 a cloudG3509 of witnessesG3144, let us lay asideG659 everyG3956 weightG3591, andG2532 the sinG266 which doth so easily besetG2139 us, and let us runG5143 withG1223 patienceG5281 the raceG73 that is set beforeG4295 usG1473, 2LookingG872 untoG1519 JesusG2424 the authorG3588G747 andG2532 finisherG5051 ofG3588G4102 our faithG3588G4102; whoG3739 forG473 the joyG5479 that was set beforeG3588G4295 himG846 enduredG5278 the crossG4716, despisingG2706 the shameG152, andG5037 is set downG2523 atG1722 the right handG1188 of the throneG3588G2362 of GodG3588G2316. 3ForG1063 considerG357 him that enduredG3588G5278 suchG5108 contradictionG485 ofG5259 sinnersG3588G268 againstG1519 himselfG846, lestG3361 ye be weariedG2577 and faintG1590 inG3588G5590 yourG4771 mindsG3588G5590. 4Ye haveG478 not yetG3768 resistedG478 untoG3360 bloodG129, strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG3588G266.
5AndG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 the exhortationG3588G3874 whichG3748 speakethG1256 unto youG4771 asG5613 unto childrenG5207, MyG1473 sonG5207, despiseG3643 notG3361 thouG3643 the chasteningG3809 of the LordG2962, norG3366 faintG1590 when thou art rebukedG1651 ofG5259 himG846: 6ForG1063 whomG3739 the LordG2962 lovethG25 he chastenethG3811, andG1161 scourgethG3146 everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 he receivethG3858. 7IfG1487 ye endureG5278 chasteningG3809, GodG3588G2316 dealethG4374 with youG4771 asG5613 with sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is heG1510 whomG3739 the fatherG3962 chastenethG3811 notG3756? 8ButG1161 ifG1487 ye beG1510 withoutG5565 chastisementG3809, whereofG3739 allG3956 areG1096 partakersG3353, thenG686 are yeG1510 bastardsG3541, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207. 9FurthermoreG1534 we have hadG2192 fathersG3962 ofG3588G4561 ourG1473 fleshG3588G4561 which correctedG3810 us, andG2532 we gaveG1788 them reverenceG1788: shall weG5293 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 be in subjection untoG5293 the FatherG3588G3962 of spiritsG3588G4151, andG2532 liveG2198? 10ForG1063 theyG3811 verilyG3588G3303 forG4314 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastenedG3811 us afterG2596 their ownG846 pleasureG3588G1380; butG1161 heG3588 forG1909 our profitG3588G4851, thatG1519 we might be partakersG3588G3335 ofG3588G41 hisG846 holinessG3588G41. 11NowG1161 noG3756 chasteningG3809 forG4314 the presentG3588G3918 seemethG1380 to beG1510 joyousG5479, butG235 grievousG3077: neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldethG591 theG2590 peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 unto them which are exercisedG3588G1128 therebyG1223G846. 12WhereforeG1352 lift upG461 the handsG5495 which hang downG3935, andG2532 theG1119 feebleG3886 kneesG1119; 13AndG2532 makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 forG3588G4228 yourG4771 feetG3588G4228, lestG3361 that which is lameG5560 be turned out of the wayG1624; butG1161 let itG2390 ratherG3123 be healedG2390.
14FollowG1377 peaceG1515 withG3326 allG3956 men, andG2532 holinessG3588G38, withoutG5565 whichG3739 no manG3762 shall seeG3708 the LordG3588G2962: 15Looking diligentlyG1983 lestG3361 any manG5100 failG5302 ofG575 the graceG3588G5485 of GodG3588G2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 of bitternessG4088 springingG5453 upG507 troubleG1776 you, andG2532 therebyG1223G3778 manyG4183 be defiledG3392; 16Lest thereG3361 be anyG5100 fornicatorG4205, orG2228 profane personG952, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG1520 morsel of meatG1035 soldG591 hisG846 birthrightG3588G4415. 17ForG1063 ye knowG1492 how thatG3754 afterwardG3347, when he would haveG2309 inheritedG2816 the blessingG3588G2129, he was rejectedG593: forG1063 he foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 of repentanceG3341, thoughG2539 he soughtG1567 itG846 carefullyG1567 withG3326 tearsG1144.
18ForG1063 ye areG4334 notG3756 come untoG4334 the mountG3735 that might be touchedG5584, andG2532 that burnedG2545 with fireG4442, norG2532 unto blacknessG1105, andG2532 darknessG4655, andG2532 tempestG2366, 19AndG2532 the soundG2279 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 the voiceG5456 of wordsG4487; whichG3739 voice they that heardG191 intreatedG3868 thatG3361 the wordG3056 shouldG4369 notG3361 be spokenG4369 to themG846 any more: 20(ForG1063 they couldG5342 notG3756 endureG5342 that which was commandedG1291, And if so much asG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountainG3588G3735, it shall be stonedG3036, orG2228 thrust throughG2700 with a dartG1002: 21AndG2532 soG3779 terribleG5398 wasG1510 the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG3004, IG1510 exceedingly fearG1630 andG2532 quakeG1790:) 22ButG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 ZionG4622, andG2532 unto the cityG4172 of theG2316 livingG2198 GodG2316, theG2419 heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 to an innumerable companyG3461 of angelsG32, 23To the sacred convocationG3831 andG2532 assemblyG1577 of the firstbornG4416, which are writtenG583 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 to GodG2316 the JudgeG2923 of allG3956, andG2532 to the spiritsG4151 of just menG1342 made perfectG5048, 24AndG2532 to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of theG1242 newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 to the bloodG129 of sprinklingG4473, that speakethG2980 better thingsG2909 thanG3844 that of AbelG3588G6.
25SeeG991 thatG3361 yeG991 refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refusedG3868 him that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG3588G1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG1473 escape, if we turn away fromG654 him thatG3588 speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772: 26WhoseG3739 voiceG3588G5456 thenG5119 shookG4531 the earthG3588G1093: butG1161 nowG3568 he hath promisedG1861, sayingG3004, YetG2089 onceG530 moreG2089 IG1473 shakeG4579 notG3756 the earthG3588G1093 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 heavenG3588G3772. 27AndG1161 thisG3588 word, YetG2089 onceG530 moreG2089, signifiethG1213 the removingG3588G3331 of those things that are shakenG4531, asG5613 of things that are madeG4160, thatG2443 those things whichG4531 cannotG3361 be shakenG4531 may remainG3306. 28WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192 graceG5485, wherebyG1223 we may serveG3000 GodG3588G2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124: 29ForG1063 ourG1473 GodG3588G2316 is aG4442 consumingG2654 fireG4442.
