Revised Version 1895
1ThereforeG1223 let us alsoG2532, seeing weG2249 are compassed aboutG3588 withG1223 soG2532 greatG3956 a cloudG3509 ofG1223 witnessesG3144, layG659 asideG659 everyG3956 weightG3591, andG2532 theG3956 sinG266 whichG3588 doth soG2532 easilyG2139 besetG4029 us, andG2532 let us runG5143 withG1223 patienceG5281 theG3956 raceG73 thatG3956 is setG4295 beforeG4295 us, 2looking unto JesusG2424 theG3588 authorG747 andG2532 perfecterG5051 ofG2316 ourG2316 faithG4102, whoG3739 forG1519 theG3588 joyG5479 thatG3739 was setG4295 beforeG1722 himG846 enduredG5278 theG3588 crossG4716, despisingG2706 shameG152, andG2532 hath satG2523 downG2523 at theG3588 rightG1188 handG1188 ofG2316 theG3588 throneG2362 ofG2316 GodG2316. 3ForG1063 considerG357 himG2443 thatG2443 hath enduredG5278 suchG5108 gainsaying ofG3588 sinnersG268 againstG1519 themselvesG1438, thatG2443 ye wax notG3361 wearyG1590, fainting inG1519 yourG1438 soulsG5590. 4Ye have notG3768 yetG3768 resistedG478 unto bloodG129, strivingG464 againstG4314 sinG266: 5andG2532 ye have forgottenG1585 theG3588 exhortationG3874, whichG3748 reasoneth withG2532 youG5210 asG5613 withG2532 sonsG5207, MyG5259 sonG5207, regard notG3361 lightly theG3588 chastening ofG5207 theG3588 LordG2962, NorG3366 faintG1590 whenG5613 thou art reprovedG1651 ofG5207 himG846; 6ForG1063 whomG3739 theG3956 LordG2962 loveth heG3739 chasteneth, AndG1161 scourgeth everyG3956 sonG5207 whomG3739 heG3739 receiveth. 7ItG3739 is forG1063 chastening thatG3739 ye endureG5278; GodG2316 dealeth withG2316 youG5210 asG5613 withG2316 sonsG5207; forG1063 whatG5101 sonG5207 is thereG3962 whomG3739 hisG3739 fatherG3962 chasteneth notG3756? 8ButG1161 ifG1487 ye areG1510 withoutG5565 chastening, whereof allG3956 haveG1510 beenG1510 madeG1096 partakersG3353, thenG2532 areG1510 ye bastards, andG2532 notG3756 sonsG5207. 9FurthermoreG2532, weG2249 had theG3588 fathersG3962 ofG4151 ourG2532 fleshG4561 toG2532 chasten us, andG2532 weG2249 gave them reverence: shallG2532 weG2249 notG3756 muchG4183 ratherG3123 beG2532 inG2532 subjectionG5293 unto theG3588 FatherG3962 ofG4151 spiritsG4151, andG2532 liveG2198? 10ForG1063 theyG846 verily forG1063 a fewG3641 daysG2250 chastened usG1519 asG1519 seemedG1380 goodG1380 toG1519 themG846; butG1161 heG846 forG1063 ourG2596 profit, thatG846 weG1161 mayG1161 be partakers ofG2250 hisG846 holinessG41. 11AllG3956 chastening seemeth forG1223 theG3956 presentG3918 toG4314 beG1510 notG3756 joyous, butG1161 grievous: yetG1161 afterwardG5305 itG846 yieldeth peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 unto themG846 thatG3956 haveG1510 beenG1510 exercised thereby, evenG1161 theG3956 fruitG2590 ofG1223 righteousnessG1343. 12WhereforeG1352 lift up theG3588 handsG5495 thatG1352 hang down, andG2532 theG3588 palsied kneesG1119; 13andG2532 makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 forG2443 yourG4160 feetG4228, thatG2443 thatG2443 whichG3588 is lameG5560 beG2532 notG3361 turnedG1624 outG4160 ofG4228 theG3588 way, butG1161 ratherG3123 beG2532 healedG2390. 14Follow afterG3326 peaceG1515 withG3326 allG3956 menG3956, andG2532 theG3956 sanctificationG38 withoutG5565 whichG3739 noG3762 manG3762 shallG2532 seeG3708 theG3956 LordG2962: 15looking carefully lestG3361 thereG4183 beG2532 anyG5100 manG3778 thatG3778 falleth shortG5302 ofG1223 theG3588 graceG5485 ofG1223 GodG2316; lestG3361 anyG5100 rootG4491 ofG1223 bitternessG4088 springingG5453 upG5453 troubleG1776 youG2532, andG2532 thereby theG3588 manyG4183 beG2532 defiledG3392; 16lestG3361 thereG3739 beG5100 anyG5100 fornicator, orG2228 profaneG952 personG5100, asG5613 EsauG2269, whoG3739 forG473 oneG1520 mess ofG1520 meatG3588 soldG591 hisG1438 ownG1438 birthrightG4415. 17ForG1063 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 evenG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 afterwardG3326 desiredG2309 toG2309 inheritG2816 theG3588 blessingG2129, heG2532 was rejectedG593 (forG1063 heG2532 foundG2147 noG3756 placeG5117 ofG3588 repentanceG3341), thoughG2532 heG2532 sought itG846 diligently withG3326 tearsG1144. 18ForG1063 ye are notG3756 comeG4334 unto a mount that mightG2532 beG2532 touchedG5584, andG2532 that burnedG2545 withG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 unto blackness, andG2532 darknessG2217, andG2532 tempest, 19andG2532 theG3588 soundG5456 ofG3056 a trumpetG4536, andG2532 theG3588 voiceG5456 ofG3056 wordsG3056; whichG3739 voiceG5456 theyG846 thatG3739 heardG191 entreated thatG3739 noG3361 wordG3056 moreG4369 shouldG2532 beG2532 spokenG4369 unto themG846: 20forG1063 theyG2579 could notG3756 endure thatG2342 whichG3588 was enjoined, IfG2579 evenG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345 theG3588 mountainG3735, itG5342 shall beG3756 stonedG3036; 21andG2532 soG2532 fearfulG5398 wasG1510 theG3588 appearance, thatG3004 MosesG3475 saidG3004, IG2532 exceedingly fearG1790 andG2532 quake: 22butG235 ye are comeG4334 unto mountG3735 ZionG4622, andG2532 unto theG2532 cityG4172 ofG2316 theG2532 livingG2198 GodG2316, theG2532 heavenlyG2032 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 toG2532 innumerable hosts ofG2316 angelsG32, 23toG2532 theG3956 generalG3831 assemblyG1577 andG2532 churchG1577 ofG4151 theG3956 firstbornG4416 whoG3956 are enrolledG583 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 toG2532 GodG2316 theG3956 JudgeG2923 ofG4151 allG3956, andG2532 toG2532 theG3956 spiritsG4151 ofG4151 justG1342 menG3956 madeG5048 perfectG5048, 24andG2532 toG2532 JesusG2424 theG3588 mediatorG3316 ofG129 a newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 toG2532 theG3588 bloodG129 ofG129 sprinkling thatG2980 speaketh betterG2909 thanG3844 thatG2980 ofG129 AbelG6. 25SeeG991 thatG1565 ye refuseG3868 notG3756 himG1565 thatG1565 speaketh. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1487 escapedG1628 notG3756, whenG991 theyG1487 refusedG3756 himG1565 thatG1565 warnedG5537 themG1565 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall notG3756 weG2249 escapeG1628, whoG3588 turnG654 awayG654 fromG575 himG1565 thatG1565 warneth fromG575 heavenG3772: 26whoseG3739 voiceG5456 thenG2532 shookG4579 theG3588 earthG1093: butG1161 nowG1161 heG2532 hath promisedG1861, sayingG3004, YetG2532 onceG530 moreG2089 willG3739 IG1473 makeG3756 toG3004 tremble notG3756 theG3588 earthG1093 onlyG3440, butG1161 alsoG2532 theG3588 heavenG3772. 27AndG1161 thisG3588 word, YetG1161 onceG530 moreG2089, signifieth theG3588 removingG3331 ofG3588 thoseG3588 thingsG3588 thatG2443 are shakenG4531, asG5613 ofG3588 thingsG3588 thatG2443 have beenG530 madeG4160, thatG2443 thoseG3588 thingsG3588 whichG3588 are notG3361 shakenG4531 mayG2443 remainG3306. 28WhereforeG1352, receiving a kingdomG932 thatG3739 cannotG761 beG2532 shakenG761, let us have graceG5485, whereby weG3739 mayG2532 offerG3000 serviceG3000 well-pleasing toG2532 GodG2316 withG3326 reverenceG2124 andG2532 awe: 29forG1063 ourG2316 GodG2316 is a consumingG2654 fireG4442.
